President Bola Tinubu is set to join fellow African leaders in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, for the Africa Heads of State Energy Summit, taking place from January 27 to 28, 2025. The President leaves Nigeria on Sunday for Tanzania in order to attend the summit.
The summit, hosted by the Tanzanian government in collaboration with the African Development Bank Group and the World Bank, aims to tackle Africa’s energy challenges and accelerate access to sustainable energy.
The two-day event will bring together African leaders, private sector stakeholders, development partners, and civil society organizations to discuss critical energy issues.
On the first day, ministerial representatives will present national energy plans, outlining their approaches to achieving universal energy access within five years.

He will be accompanied by a high-profile delegation, including key government officials from the Ministry of Power, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Office of the President on Energy.
