EVENT PROGRAMME
WELCOME ADDRESS TO NAEE 2015 EXHIBITION AND CONFERENCE, HELD AT SHEHU YAR’ ADUA CONFERENCE CENTRE, ABUJA HELD BETWEEN OCTOBER 14th -16th 2015
PRESENTED BY DR. EMMANUEL ONYEJEOSE, EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN, INTERNA-TIONAL ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
On behalf of all our stakeholders across the world, I humbly welcome you all to the Fifth edition of the
Nigeria’s Alternative Energy Exposition, which is Nigeria’s largest gathering of power policy makers,
manufacturers, investors and consumers all assembled here today in a bid towards brainstorming for
best practices in clean, affordable and equitable energy sufficiency in the 21st Century.
On this occasion the since expanded its horizon and thus the stakeholders’ forum in view of public
concern on inadequate power generation output by the Independent Power Providers, (IPPs) and tariff
harmonisation. This is why we are very delighted in welcoming powerful delegation from the
Presidency which is determined to curb corruption at all levels in the new administration.
We also warmly welcome representatives of the Ministries of Environment and Power for two main
reasons. They have been very supportive in all the editions of this Conference since its kick-off in 2011
at this same venue but more importantly their teams who are representatives of various agencies are
always with us and participating actively in our endeavours in finding suitable and viable technological
solutions to stabilize energy generation and transmission options. Consumers and the present
administration are desirous in their aspirations for adequate power output as they look forward to an
end to epileptic energy supply across the country. We at NAEE have no reason to rationalise the huge
drain on the scare foreign exchange reserve on empowering importers of generating sets which are
not only unsafe but also a major source of environmental hazards. This is why we have consistently
advocated alternative and friendly ecosystem energy generation capacity with technical support from
our global stakeholders.
Our delight is based on fact that the Federal Government is willing to listen to our varying complaints
just as we applaud some rudimentary popular policy measures and pragmatic decisions in creating
enabling operations environment to operate optimally. We understand that government is ready for
accountability and committed to attracting equitable investment funds aimed at meeting infrastructure
development challenges.
Our Committee notes with pleasure that even the most critical of the country’s negligent policy
outputs would now appreciate that a new dawn in policy craft is now in the horizon in the power
sector.

Our delight is based on the fact that Africa has never recorded any single Foreign Direct Investment,
(FDI) in the power generation industry in proceeding generations of up to the tune of more than the
current investment outlay of more than three billion US dollars in one felt scoop. This is despite the
scourges of the Boko Haram terrorism an abiding hope that before 2016, Nigeria’s power output will be
more than adequate to meet the revised projected demand of over 10,000 MW. The earlier target 4, 000
MW before is quite unrealistic.
The interesting thing about the Nigerian reinventing its power sector is that it is based on investor
confidence backed by prodigious purchasing power in Africa’s largest economy with its blotting middle
class society and conspicuous consumption pattern. The onus of the investors’ confidence is anchored
on the concept of alternative power generation envisaging the lighting up of 100 million of new users in
urban and rural unmet community segments.
We, at the Orgnaising Committe and Mathesis Consulting, UK are convinced like our collaborating local
and international exhibitors that with available fossil fuels and renewable energy resources, Nigeria’s
energy future is very bright. Our research findings indicate that investment capital and human resources
are not necessarily lacking. What have been the banes in energy generation and utility are rightly
attributable to poor articulation of policy objectives and unbridled corruption.
It is not surprising that our consistent large South African team of exhibitors are once again with us
here today. We give them a galloping round of applause. Similarly, we warmly greet the deans of diplomat-
ic corps, from the US, Germany, France, Argentina and the UN agencies, just to mention a few.
Finally, we salute the courage of our long standing collaborating partners, the African Sustainable Energy
Alternative, (AFSEA) and the Southern African Alternative Energy Association, (SAAEA) which have been
very supportive in our clarion calls for making clean energy available at affordable rates in every rural
areas, especially the off grid communities.
I want to invite you all to listen attentively to the various Paper Presentations as we rub minds together
and finally tour the innovation products and devices in modern electricity generation technology stands.
I want to assure you that they are enough challenging entrepreneurship opportunities and franchise
options here in finding industrial solutions to affordable power supply in environmentally friendly
ecosystem. You are sincerely welcome to Abuja as you come face to face with innovative and scalable
energy generation capacity. You are welcome to Abuja, the heart of Africa and melting pot of global
investment.

Federal Ministry of Power.
G2020 is an NAEE initiative, endorsed by government and business
partners, spurring an urgent need for 170 million Nigerians to
embrace energy savings as a national culture, and joining the global
journey towards a sustainable future. G2020’s value proposition is a
desire for a better future for all Nigerians economically, socially and
environmentally.
The name G2020 means 20 MW of Green Energy by the year 2020.
The call to save electricity and to reduce electricity consumption
has been prompted by Nigeria’s traumatised power sector, the
global need to reduce our country’s carbon footprint, and the need
to save money as a result of the economic downturn and rising
electricity prices.
12:00 Launch of Solar Empowered schools in Karashi
Secondary school, Karashi Abuja
Solar Empowered School is a youth initiative of African
Sustainable Energy Association which focuses on the use of
sustainable technology to improve academic performance of
Africa school children, by providing them with solar lanterns
and home studies training.
SES has identified a school in Karashi community where
students don’t have access to the grid to study at night and will
donate solar Latterns to students to improve their academic
performance by reading extra hours in the evening.
