Yes / This paper looks into the issues around renewable energy with a view to identify the opportunities for Nigeria
and critically review the nation’s renewable energy policy vis-`a-vis the efforts and achievement of governments
and indigenous practitioners. It identified the inherent opportunities of renewable energy resources at ameliorating
the incidents of climate change and global warming and also surveyed international statistics on the relationships
between energy and renewable energy adoption, national development, population explosion, job
creation and rural-urban integration. It found out that for Nigeria to sustain economic growth especially as it
relates to agriculture and food security, renewable energy for power generation must be included in the nation’s
rural development plan. It also demonstrated that renewable energy poses an opportunity for mitigating the
nation’s contributions to anthropogenic climate change. / This work was supported by the British Academy Global Challenges Research Fund under Grant number GCRFNGR3\1541 and Covenant University, Ota, Nigeria.
