NJ Ayuk, Author of Bestselling Book A Just Transition: Making Energy Poverty History with an Energy Mix, Speaks at the Invest in African Energy Forum
There is an urgent need for the world to recognize and establish an equitable energy solution for the countries of Africa.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Paris, France — The bestselling author, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, and CEO of Centurion Law Group, NJ Ayuk, speaks at the Invest in African Energy forum on June 1st, 2023, at the prestigious Westin Paris Vendôme Hotel. The forum’s primary goal is to promote investments in Africa’s energy sector and provide a platform for global stakeholders to connect with Africa’s energy industry leaders.
The Amazon bestselling book, A Just Transition: Making Energy Poverty History with an Energy Mix, addresses the path to a just energy solution for the people and countries of Africa.
