Embracing Energy Mix for Transportation- Nigeria's Path to Sustainability.

Embracing Energy Mix for Transportation-  Nigeria's Path to Sustainability.


For years, I've advocated for an energy mix for transportation in Nigeria. Now, with fuel prices soaring above N1000 per liter, it's clear that change is urgent.

The Reality of Petroleum Prices

Petroleum products are not cheap anywhere in the world. Nigeria's reliance on fossil fuels has left us vulnerable to price volatility. It's time to explore alternatives.

A Multi-Faceted Solution

To mitigate the impact of high fuel prices, consider these options:

1. Downsize to smaller vehicles: Reduce fuel consumption and emissions.

2. Electric vehicles: Adopt eco-friendly transportation.

3. Convert to CNG (Compressed Natural Gas): A cleaner, more affordable alternative.

4. Public transportation: Share the cost and reduce congestion.

5. Ride bicycles: A healthy, environmentally friendly choice.

6. Walk more: Simple, yet effective.

Breaking the Fossil Fuel Cycle.

Embracing an energy mix for transportation offers numerous benefits:

1. Reduced fuel costs

2. Lower emissions

3. Improved air quality

4. Enhanced energy security

5. Economic growth through innovation


The Bitter Truth

Transitioning to an energy mix requires adjustments, but the long-term gains outweigh the initial discomfort.

A Call to Action

Nigerians, let's adapt and thrive:

1. Encourage policymakers to invest in alternative energy infrastructure.

2. Support local businesses adopting sustainable transportation solutions.

3. Make conscious choices in your daily commute.


The time for change is now. Let's drive Nigeria towards a sustainable transportation future.
