Abstract

The idea of creating strong, efficient, and effective energy sectors in Nigeria without sacrificing current and future socio-environmental security is sometimes referred to as a sustainable energy transition. This is a novel and worthwhile initiative given its multi-faceted benefits. In this wise, several nations have worked remarkably hard to accomplish this crucial goal with limited success stories, mostly in the developing countries of the world. Nigeria, for instance, relies heavily on energy to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, as predicted by the UN. Unfortunately, hydrocarbon is known to be the oxygen of the country's power supply. They, therefore, examine the factors impeding the country’s shift to clean energy use. The paper's findings revealed that weakand old infrastructure servicing the energy sector of the country is to be blamed for the slow transition to clean energy. Furthermore, a lack of intentional and proactive policy directives in this regard was also implicated in the study
