Vice President Dr. Mohamed Juldeh Jalloh has urged the private sector to invest in the country’s energy sector.
The Vice President said: “Today, I had the great honour of closing Sierra Leone’s Energy Transition Plan chaired by Dr. Kandeh Kolleh Yumkella. The two-day national dialogue allowed us to take stock of the plethora of studies undertaken by Sierra Leone’s energy sector and identify opportunities to mainstream climate change outcomes in its sustainable development.
“In my speech, I highlighted key considerations to drive our energy transition including targeted capacity building support to create a pipeline of skilled professionals across a multitude of energy value chains such as oil and gas to meet current and future job demands in the sector’s transformation and ultimately its contribution to the global net zero agenda.
“I concluded by reiterating the critical role of private sector participation in the energy sector and the benefits that can be attained from leveraging climate resilient interventions to unleash sustainable economic growth”.
