President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded Mr. Ridwan AbdulRazaq, a renewable energy expert, on his victory at the 2024 Prince’s Trust Global Sustainability Award.
The President’s Spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, made this known in a statement on Friday.
Mr. AbdulRazaq was honoured for his accomplishments in advancing solar energy system design and deployment in Nigeria, especially in off-grid rural communities.
Tinubu commended the Nigerian green-solution pacesetter, stating that AbdulRazaq’s achievements reinforce the long-held conviction that Nigeria’s climate goals and his administration’s green industrial vision are realizable with the active participation of the nation’s tremendously gifted youths.
Stating further, the President affirmed that Nigeria can lead Africa and even the rest of the world in science, technology, cutting-edge manufacturing, and other spheres of human pursuits with the composite ingenuity of the youth.
He therefore urged Nigerians not to relent in applying the resources of their talents in any given area as his administration remains committed to providing support and giving flight to their dreams.
