The Second EIRA Extended Country Profile for Nigeria is a collaboration between the Energy Commission of Nigeria and the Energy Charter Secretariat. The report provides policy recommendations and technical assistance to the Federal Government of Nigeria to reduce policy, legal and regulatory risks in the energy sector and unlock investment for a sustainable energy future. It identifies the main priorities for the country’s energy sector and the progress made towards these in the last year. Updates are available on the key energy projects and programmes implemented during the EIRA assessment year. Readers also have information on the latest legislative and regulatory updates, vis-à-vis the risk areas of EIRA. Most importantly, the report highlights regulatory gaps that should be addressed for making the investment climate more predictable and robust.
