FG Moves to Strengthen Local Content in Nigeria’s Renewable Energy Sector. The Federal Government, through the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), is stepping up efforts to ensure Nigeria captures the industrial and economic value of its growing renewable energy market, amid concerns over heavy reliance on imported hardware despite the country’s advanced decentralised energy framework. The Managing Director/Chief Executive of REA, Dr. Abba Aliyu, said about 80–90 per cent of renewable energy equipment is still imported, stressing the need for local manufacturing, skills transfer, and strategic market structuring to drive job creation, build industries, and retain economic value within Nigeria. @TheREANigeria
