Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has travelled out of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja for the United States of America.
Osinbajo flew out early Wednesday to seek global partnerships and support for Nigeria’s recently launched Energy Transition Plan.
The Vice President is leading Nigeria’s Energy Transition Implementation Working Group (ETWG) on the US mission with meetings starting from September 1 to promote the plan and secure global support from the US government, the private sector, and other development partners.
The ETWG, which is chaired by Osinjabo, comprises relevant ministers and other top government officials.
This was disclosed in a statement by Osinbajo’s spokesman, Laolu Akande.
The Vice President will return to Abuja early next week.
While in the United States, Osinbajo will meet US Vice President, Kamala Harris; US Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, Secretary of Treasury, Janet Yellen, and President of World Bank Group, David Malpass, among others.
The Vice President is also scheduled to speak on Nigeria’s Energy Transition Plan at the Centre for Global Development in Washington DC.
