The Special Adviser to the President on Energy, Olu Verheijen has said that US president Donald Trump’s stance on energy security mirrors the priorities of Nigeria’s own policy direction.
Speaking in an interview with Arise Television on Wednesday, Verheijen stated that Nigeria, like many other nations, has chosen to prioritize energy security to ensure affordability and self-sufficiency in energy production.
