GEAPP also confirmed Osinbajo’s appointment.

It said: “The @EnergyAlliance is thrilled to announce the appointment of former VP of Nigeria, HE @ProfOsinbajo, as a Global Advisor, guiding our mission to accelerate #cleanenergy deployment in emerging economies.

“A champion for just energy transitions in Africa, @ProfOsinbajo will work alongside @EnergyAlliance to unlock greater capital flows into the #cleanenergy sector & boost Africa’s share in the global carbon market through the Africa Carbon Markets Initiative.”

The former Vice President is to assist GEAPP’s mission of accelerating clean energy deployment in developing countries.

He is also expected to support GEAPP’s partnership with governments to enhance the enabling environment and delivery effectiveness to unlock faster and greater capital flows into the clean energy sector.

The former Vice-President last month led a team of distinguished experts in observing the general elections in Sierra Leone.
