Nigeria Energy Sector: Discussing the Benefits of Renewable Energy with Anita Nana Okuribido

Anita Nana Okuribido, Chairman of Women Green Energy Institute, discusses the advantages of using renewable energy, solar energy, green energy over more traditional types of energy.

“Thinking green, going green, and living green gives you good health. I am so passionate about going green because I discovered that you have energy, you exude energy when you start going green. Then, when you live green using renewable energy devices, green devices, you reduce the carbon emission in your immediate environment. For example, in Nigeria, we do not have access to a constant supply of electricity. Everybody goes to the market and buys a one kVA generator. About 13 million Nigerians have that device. When 13 million of such devices are running, you can imagine the carbon emission in the environment. If 13 million Nigerians would go to a one kVA solar device with no carbon emission, you can imagine how wonderful the environment will be. We need to use green devices because of our health and because of the environment”, says Anita Nana Okuribido.
