In a bold call to action, energy expert Dr Oppong has urged African nations to dramatically scale up renewable energy adoption, warning that the continent’s energy sovereignty and economic future depend on it.
According to Dr Oppong, reliance on imported fossil fuels leaves Africa vulnerable to global market swings, supply disruptions, and geopolitical pressures. He stressed that investing in solar, wind, hydro, and other clean energy sources is not just an environmental imperative—it’s a strategic move to claim control over the continent’s energy destiny.
“Renewables are Africa’s ticket to self-sufficiency,” Dr Oppong stated, emphasizing that countries that embrace innovative, homegrown energy solutions will secure jobs, attract investment, and reduce costs for citizens.
His warning has ignited debate among policymakers, industry leaders, and environmental advocates, highlighting the urgent need for robust infrastructure, funding, and political will to transform Africa’s energy landscape.
As the continent grapples with power shortages and rising energy demands, Dr Oppong’s message is clear: the future belongs to those who dare to harness the sun, wind, and water today.
