However, my only problem with you is the way of your delivery. For those of us who’re outside your place of business, it takes up to two weeks or more before the books we order reach us.

Legal Perspectives on Energy Security and Energy Efficiency in Nigeria is a masterpiece which contains 338 pages about the best recommendations used to secure Nigeria’s crude oil, gas and electricity services in line with the Nigeria’s energy laws to promote sustainability in host communities. This book introduces the legal framework on energy security and energy efficiency using extant laws including the Petroleum Industry Act, 2021 (PIA), the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Act and Electricity Act, 2023. This book also contains profound information extracted from United Nations principles all in the pursuit of sustainable development and economic self-reliance which is of paramount significance. There are challenges posed by energy demands, environmental concerns and the need to diversify energy sources using renewable sources of energy in line with the Energy Transition Plan.
While the Petroleum Industry Act plays a significant role in shaping the energy sector in Nigeria, its direct impact on the legal framework for actualizing energy security through energy efficiency may be indirect. The PIA does not specifically address the energy efficiency measures; however, its influence on the broader energy landscape can indirectly contribute through the diversification of energy resources thereby encouraging investments, generating funds for energy infrastructure investments using renewable energy, mitigating environmental concerns and community development.
As we navigate the legal complexities of energy security and efficiency, this book invites stakeholders to engage in collective dialogue for a shared responsibility for sustainable energy practices. Whether you are a student seeking a comprehensive resource, an educator aiming your enhance your teaching materials, or a professional looking to deepen your understanding of energy security and energy efficiency, I am confident this book will serve as an invaluable resource for you.
