The 9th Nigeria Energy Forum (9th NEF), themed “Energising Sustainable Industrialisation,” took place on July 9th at the Marcellina Centre in Lagos. The Conference and Exhibition focused on energising sustainable industrialisation and mobilising multi-million dollar (USD) investments for boosting domestic manufacturing, financing energy transition and transforming climate-smart community action.
The event welcomed over 300 energy and sustainability experts, government officials and civil servants. Among the distinguished attendees was the Honourable Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources, Lagos, Mr Biodun Ogunleye, who highlighted the event’s importance in shaping the state’s energy policies and strategies. Representing Unicaf were Jennifer Eziamaka and Elizabeth Daramola.
A key panel session on capacity building and promoting higher education featured a compelling presentation by Unicaf’s Jennifer Eziamaka. She underscored the crucial role of education in empowering professionals to drive sustainable energy solutions.
Ms Eziamaka emphasised the transformative potential of the Unicaf Scholarship Programme, which facilitates access to internationally recognised degrees from Unicaf’s leading and prestigious partner universities such as the University of East London, Liverpool John Moores University, the University of Suffolk (all in the UK) and Unicaf University in Africa. She highlighted the affordability of these programmes through Unicaf’s flexible payment plans, enabling more Nigerians to pursue higher education and enhance their expertise.
Throughout the 9th NEF, Unicaf maintained an engaging exhibition booth, where attendees explored various educational opportunities and services. The booth served as a hub for connecting with potential applicants, answering their questions and providing detailed information about the benefits of online studies through Unicaf.
Unicaf’s participation in the 9th Nigeria Energy Forum not only underlined its commitment to advancing education in Nigeria but also showcased the significant impact that higher education can have on the energy sector.
