NJ Ayuk’s literary masterpiece, “A Just Transition,” delves into the multifaceted challenges impeding Africa’s energy sector in the face of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) lofty objectives on green energy. The author’s eloquent portrayal reveals the stifling and crippling impacts of these policies on the energy economies of African nations endowed with bountiful natural gas and oil resources, which could otherwise transform them into global energy powerhouses. Nonetheless, the realization of this vision for African nations extends beyond the realm of green energy alone.

In the book, Ayuk takes readers on a thought-provoking odyssey through a myriad of themes, including the truth about energy poverty, the immense value of natural gas in Africa, the adverse consequences of foreign aid, the embrace of cutting-edge technologies, the creation of opportunities for women, among others. The author argues that with effective governance, a sharp eye for opportunities, and mindful consideration of nations affected by sweeping laws, it is plausible for African nations to make a just and lucrative transition to renewable energy.
