Bank of Industry (BOI) has disclosed that plans have been put in place to contribute about 27 percent of the renewable power generation in Africa by the year 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Managing Director of BOI, Dr Olasupo Olusi made this disclosure at the AADFI-AFFIAP CEO Forum, He said, as Nigeria\u2019s leading Development Financing Institute (DFI), \u201cone of the primary drivers of BoI\u2019s developmental strategy is to accelerate Nigeria\u2019s development through supporting environmentally-friendly and sustainable projects across the key sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are very active in resourcing climate-friendly funds, including the recent credit line of 100 million Euros secured from the French Development Agency (AFD) for the expansion of green finance in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe bank is also currently implementing an on-lending financing scheme through local financial institutions to support customers interested in adopting clean energy solutions. We will continue to seek funding partners to complement our climate change agenda\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained further that \u201cWe must also make Stronger Climate Commitments: To outpace the far-reaching effects of climate change, we as DFIs need to accelerate our progress and increase our climate ambition. We need to hold ourselves accountable to commitments that are backed up with action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt BoI, we are signatories to the World\u2019s foremost sustainability frameworks and we are committed to mobilizing finance for sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur project portfolio reflects a significant investment in renewable energy projects as we seek to contribute to the continental ambition of 27% of renewable power generation by 2030\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olusi noted that \u201cto build a climate-resilient economy in developing countries, DFIs must continue to harness their convening power of partnerships and channel public and private investments toward clean and sustainable activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe must be better coordinated in harmonizing our various climate initiatives to ensure significant impact and achievement of economies of scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBOI has worked with our partners to raise over $5 billion from several international financial institutions in the last five years. We intend to leverage our extensive partnership to raise the resources required for building a climate-smart Nigeria\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
