NATIONAL RENEWABLE ENERGY AND ENERGY
EFFICIENCY POLICY (NREEEP)
FOR THE ELECTRICITY SECTOR
Energy supply in Nigeria can be classified into two main categories, (a) urban and (b) rural.
Urban areas are essentially on the grid while rural areas are largely off the grid. Improved
energy supply to urban residents is being addressed mainly by the Roadmap for Power
Sector Reforms, which was launched by President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, in
August 2012. The roadmap essentially focuses on the development of grid-based
electricity. However, the on-going power sector reforms will only enable the extension of
the national grid to large rural areas which are close to main urban areas.
Rural areas that are remote and have a low demand density will have to depend on off-grid
energy solutions as the economies of on-grid deployment do not favour rural
electrification. Off-grid areas will have to depend on alternative solutions. The implication
of this strategy for improved energy supply across Nigeria will entail the utilization of
renewable energy sources at our disposal, both on-grid and off-grid. Consequently, it is
essential that a coordinated, coherent and comprehensive renewable energy policy (REP)
be put in place to drive hydropower, biomass, solar and wind as energy sources. In this
respect, like existing sources of electricity, renewable energy can become a source of
energy that may be traded and procured by the power industry as they would procure
fossil or non-renewable energy sources. It is intended that the renewable energy policy
advanced in this document will serve as a blue print for the sustainable development,
supply and utilization of renewable energy resources within the economy for both on-grid
and off-grid energy solutions.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

The livelihoods and well-being of millions of people in developing countries that depend on
wetland ecosystems are under growing threat. Development is making ever-increasing demands on
water resources for addressing energy and food security and to underpin industrial development.
The water needs of wetlands as well as their role in supplying water are frequently overlooked or
undervalued. As a consequence wetlands are changing, degrading, diminishing and even
disappearing from the landscape driving deepening poverty, decreased resilience to disaster and
natural resource focused conflicts.
This post is a very exciting opportunity to make a difference. The position will work in a number of
challenging development issues around the world in some of the world’s most inspiring and

integral part of this. They will be convinced of the need to act through dialogue based approaches to
achieve balanced solutions. Knowledge and familiarity of working in themes such as integrated
water resources management, ecosystem based disaster risk reduction, water, sanitation and
hygiene and green infrastructure will be essential. The candidate should be able to engage in
government, business and inter-government environments articulate knowledge based arguments
to influence decision-making processes.
