Buhari arrived in Abuja on the presidential jet on Sunday morning. The aircraft touched down at the terminal's presidential entrance at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport.
President Buhari reiterated the Federal Government's ambition to produce 30 gigawatts of power by 2030 in his opening remarks at the US-Africa Leaders Summit.
In order to address energy poverty and global warming, President Buhari bragged that Nigeria had developed the first all-encompassing Energy Transition Plan on the continent.
In addition, he requested American assistance in funding Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan, which he said would cost at least N10 billion annually.
At the panel discussion on “Just Energy Transition,” President Buhari referenced recent research showing that implementing the Energy Transition Plan will cost $1.9 trillion between now and 2060, with an additional $410 billion needed over and above expenditure as usual.
According to his calculations, we’d need to put in an extra $10 billion each year to meet this new finance demand.
The President warned his fellow African leaders in his second address that unconstitutional regime change, terrorism, and the impacts of climate change on the continent might derail efforts to implement Agenda 2063.
However, in his speech titled “Partnering on Agenda 2063: A Peaceful and Secure Africa,” Buhari expressed optimism that these dangers would not derail the solidarity of purpose held by all member states.
Amidst a rise of hostilities across the continent, he urged African Union member states to implement inclusive governance, constitutionalism, and strengthening of mediation support and conflict prevention institutions.
