The focus is on advancing Nigeria's green energy sector in alignment with renewable energy goals and the global transition to sustainable energy sources. Senator Shettima emphasized the transformative potential of hydrogen in various sectors, including fertilizer production, and highlighted the readiness of the Federal Ministry of Science and Technology to collaborate with German authorities for the development of the hydrogen market. The Vice President also underscored the importance of strong partnerships between Nigeria and Germany for promoting inclusive economic growth and sustainable development.
