In a bid to accelerate Nigeria’s transition to renewable energy, Our Mission Human and Social Impact Initiative successfully engaged key stakeholders in Nasarawa State’s local government areas (LGAs) to support the Empowering Youths for Nigeria’s Clean Energy Future project. This initiative aims to raise awareness about renewable energy sources and integrate them into local governance policies, aligning with Nigeria’s goal to generate 30% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The campaign’s outreach began on January 15, 2025, when the organization sent an introductory letter to the Nasarawa State Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, outlining the project’s objectives and requesting endorsement letters for the three LGAs selected for implementation: Lafia, Kokona, and Keffi. Despite challenges, including the state government dissolving its cabinet and executive council, the project received the crucial endorsement on January 29, 2025.
