The Rural Electrification Agency (REA) in Nigeria is facing scrutiny from the House of Representatives for failing to provide accountability on over ₦151.7 billion allocated for solar energy projects and additional foreign grants. Lawmakers are demanding procurement documentation and audit reports to assess project execution and contractor details.

This comes amid concerns about the operational capacity of installed solar systems across various regions. Additionally, plans for the Nigeria Climate Investment Summit in London in June 2026 aim to showcase Nigeria's climate financing initiatives, while ongoing discussions highlight the need for better citizen involvement in climate budgeting processes.
