Powering Africa through Energy Independence | Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu | TEDxMambillaSt

Shedding light on Africa’s paradox - rich in natural resources yet plagued by energy poverty, Dr. Kachikwu recounts a conversation that questions why energy access remains a privilege rather than a right. He explores Africa’s vast energy potential, the failures in resource monetization, and the urgent need for strategic policies. The talk challenges African leaders, policymakers, and the populace to rethink energy, infrastructure, and self-reliance, urging them to harness local resources, think globally, and prioritize value creation for the African people, as the only way for the continent to effectively progress.
