The Commission is shortlisted for the Rhino Award, which honours Africa’s top-performing regulators or national oil companies, while Komolafe is nominated for the Elephant Award, which recognises individuals making significant contributions to the continent’s energy advancement.
In response to the nominations, a civil society group, the Alliance for Sustainable Energy Governance in Africa (ASEGA), commended Komolafe for the recognition, describing it as “a timely affirmation of Nigeria’s evolving stature in Africa’s energy sector”.
