APC to Screen 124 for Mustapha Abdullahi Energy Fellowship

The APC National Youth Wing is set to screen 124 applicants for the Mustapha Abdullahi Energy Leadership Fellowship (MAELF), a flagship initiative designed to cultivate the next generation of energy leaders in Nigeria. The fellowship attracted 1,212 applications from young Nigerians and Africans looking to contribute to the transformation of the energy sector.

The program aims to equip participants with cutting-edge knowledge in renewable energy, energy transition policies, and climate action leadership. Dayo Israel, the APC National Youth Leader, described MAELF as a strategic investment in Nigeria's future, emphasizing that the country's economic growth and industrial development depend significantly on quality leadership within the energy sector.

Outstanding fellows will benefit from internship placements, mentorship opportunities, policy engagement platforms, field visits, and access to grants of up to N20 million to support innovative clean energy solutions. This initiative aligns with President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope agenda and Nigeria's commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2060.
