- Renaissance and the EU delegation agreed to strengthen cooperation on energy security, sustainability and long-term strategic partnership.
- Renaissance aims to drive Nigeria’s industrialisation with cleaner energy, backed by policy reforms and improved emissions management.
Renaissance Africa Energy Company Limited and the EU Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS agreed to deepen cooperation on energy security and sustainability. They reached the agreement during a meeting on Tuesday, November 25, in Abuja.
Renaissance CEO Tony Attah stated that the company aims to enhance Nigeria’s energy security and support industrial growth across Africa. He said Africa holds over six per cent of global energy resources but still suffers from heavy energy poverty. He also stated Renaissance wants to lead efforts to change this situation.
Attah said Nigeria needs cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions to attract investment and overcome development barriers. He stated that the company will deliver energy responsibly and enhance environmental standards in its oil and gas operations.
In addition, he said Renaissance has strengthened its corporate governance and is focused on visible performance. He praised recent government reforms, including new executive orders and the implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act. He said these reforms have improved stability and production in the sector.
EU Ambassador Gautier Mignot highlighted the EU’s ongoing programmes in Nigeria and said the EU is ready to expand cooperation with Renaissance.
Furthermore, both sides discussed emissions management. Renaissance said it has reduced gas flaring through continuous monitoring and the Nigeria Gas Commercialisation Programme.
Both organisations called for stronger dialogue on energy security and sustainability. Nigeria continues to face low investment, weak infrastructure and widespread energy poverty. The EU supports clean energy, economic development, youth empowerment and climate-aligned investments across Nigeria and ECOWAS.
The meeting took place as Nigeria intensifies reforms to boost production, cut emissions and attract long-term investment in the energy sector.
