President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda is the overarching philosophy guiding his administration’s policies, which focus on restoring confidence, attracting investments, and empowering citizens through various initiatives.
“Renewed hope” means a revived or re-established sense of optimism and belief in a positive future, often after a period of difficulty or disappointment. It signifies regaining hope and confidence, whether through personal effort, external programs, or spiritual means, to overcome challenges and strive for a better life.
For Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, Director General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), his devotion and dedication to attracting investments in the energy sector and striving to put the sector on the global map is highly commendable.
As a dedicated believer in the Renewed Hope Agenda and its benefits to Nigerians, he has made remarkable progress in repositioning the energy sector.
Recently, Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi recorded a great feat and landmark achievement as he finalized a partnership between Nigeria and the world’s largest solar panel production company, LONGi, at its headquarters in Xi’an, Shaanxi, China.
Nigeria, through the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), concluded this strategic partnership with LONGi, the world’s leading solar technology manufacturer. The Nigerian delegation, led by Dr. Abdullahi, was received by President Boshen Zhong and Vice President Li Wenxue of LONGi, who took them on a tour of one of the world’s largest solar cell production facilities.
The visit followed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between ECN and LONGi in London earlier this year. During the visit, Dr. Abdullahi advanced discussions on establishing a 500–1000 MW solar panel production factory in Nigeria — a move set to significantly boost the nation’s renewable energy capacity.
ECN’s presentation to LONGi highlighted Africa’s growing market and the increasing demand for solar mini-grids. It also emphasized President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Solarisation Policy, which seeks to accelerate access to clean and affordable energy across Nigeria.
LONGi expressed strong interest in investing in Nigeria and demonstrated readiness to advance concrete plans for the construction of the factory. This partnership marks a historic milestone for the Nigerian renewable energy landscape and aligns with national efforts to expand local solar manufacturing capacity.
The ECN, under Dr. Abdullahi’s visionary leadership, is working assiduously to ensure that Nigerians enjoy improved electricity supply. His management team is delivering on the Renewed Hope Initiative of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, particularly its policy on solarisation. The Commission looks forward to working closely with LONGi and the Federal Government to realize this transformative initiative, which will create jobs, enhance energy security, and drive sustainable development across the country.
In another positive development and in constant pursuit of delivering the benefits of the Renewed Hope Agenda to Nigerians, the Energy Commission of Nigeria, through its DG Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with UNIDACO Limited, London, for an initial €100 million investment in Nigeria’s energy sector.
Speaking on the development, Dr. Abdullahi stated, “The signing, held at the House of Lords, London, during the Renewed Hope Global Dialogue (UK Edition), marks a major milestone in advancing Nigeria’s clean energy transition.”
According to him, “This partnership underscores our commitment to expanding renewable energy access, driving innovation, and strengthening Nigeria’s capacity to harness clean technologies. Moreover, it aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, particularly on sustainable energy solutions as a catalyst for economic growth and development.”
He added that the distinctive MoU was signed in the presence of dignitaries and investors of repute from Nigeria and across the world. “Overall, this milestone reaffirms our resolve to deepen global partnerships that will accelerate Nigeria’s energy transformation. Together, we are charting a new course toward an inclusive, energy-secure, and prosperous nation built on innovation and collaboration,” Dr. Abdullahi concluded.
With ardent adherents of the Renewed Hope Agenda like Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, Director General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is truly walking the talk of the Renewed Hope Agenda.
