Africa’s renewable energy transition is more than an infrastructure agenda –it is a structural shift with far-reaching implications for employment, inclusion, and economic transformation.

This 2-minute documentary, produced by INCLUDE Knowledge Platform (Netherlands), captures highlights from the First National Legislative Conference and Expo on Renewable Energy in Nigeria. At the heart of the conversation: the introduction of the National Inclusive Green Jobs Act (NIGJA) –a proposed legislative framework linking clean energy investments to job creation, skills development, and gender-responsive inclusion.

Key Features of NIGJA:

• Aligns renewable energy with national job creation strategies
• Mandates youth and gender inclusion mechanisms
• Supports regional labor mobility under AfCFTA
• Promotes cross-parliamentary collaboration across Africa
  

Featured Voices:

• Rt. Hon. Dr. Tajudeen Abbas, Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives
• Hon. Victor Ogene, Chair of the House Committee on Renewable Energy
• Anika Altaf, Executive Director, INCLUDE Knowledge Platform

INCLUDE supports this movement with evidence-based research, policy dialogue, and strategic partnerships to ensure Africa’s green transition is not only sustainable –but equitable.
