Heirs Energies has announced its active participation in the 79th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA 79), which is currently underway in New York. As a key player in Africa’s energy sector, Heirs Energies is set to champion critical issues related to sustainable development, entrepreneurship, and Africa’s energy transition. This year’s event promises to be a platform for the company to reiterate its commitment to driving Africa’s transformation and positioning the continent as a leader in global development efforts.
At the forefront of these discussions will be Heirs Energies’ CEO, Osayande Igiehon, who will be joined by the Chairman of Heirs Holdings, Tony O. Elumelu, C.F.R, a well-known advocate of Africapitalism. Together with other world leaders, they will contribute to shaping the global narrative on sustainable development, while highlighting Heirs Energies’ key messages on entrepreneurship, energy transition, and Africa’s renaissance.
Entrepreneurship as a Catalyst for African Transformation
One of the main pillars of Heirs Energies’ advocacy at UNGA 79 is the promotion of entrepreneurship as a driving force for socio-economic growth across the African continent. Heirs Energies believes that entrepreneurship has the potential to transform economies by creating jobs, fostering innovation, and promoting sustainable development. This has been exemplified by the work of The Tony Elumelu Foundation, which has empowered thousands of African entrepreneurs through mentorship, funding, and access to a global network of business leaders.
Heirs Energies aims to use the platform at UNGA to emphasize the importance of nurturing entrepreneurship to unlock Africa’s vast economic potential. “Entrepreneurship is the catalyst that will drive Africa’s transformation, and it is our mission to support the next generation of African business leaders,” Igiehon said, underscoring the company’s commitment to this cause.
Africa’s Equitable Energy Transition
Another crucial topic on Heirs Energies’ agenda at UNGA 79 is Africa’s energy transition. The company is advocating for an equitable shift from energy deficiency to sufficiency, with a focus on optimizing the continent’s existing resources while embracing diverse and sustainable energy solutions. Heirs Energies believes that this transition must strike a balance between addressing Africa’s immediate energy needs and securing long-term sustainability.
Osayande Igiehon, speaking ahead of the assembly, remarked, “Africa’s future depends on our ability to harness our resources in a way that is sustainable and equitable. We need to ensure that no one is left behind as we work towards energy sufficiency for the entire continent.”
This advocacy for an inclusive energy future is aligned with Heirs Energies’ broader mission to promote economic growth and social progress through innovative energy solutions.
Catalysing an African Renaissance
Heirs Energies is also pushing for a broader African renaissance, which focuses on the importance of bringing together the continent’s people, their passion, and their potential. The company believes that by leveraging Africa’s human capital and fostering innovation, the continent can drive its transformation and enhance its global standing. This renaissance is more than just an economic endeavor; it is about reshaping Africa’s identity and positioning it as a hub of innovation and opportunity.
Tony O. Elumelu, speaking on this vision, said, “Africa’s renaissance is not just about resources; it is about the untapped potential of our people. By harnessing this potential, we can catalyse a transformation that will resonate far beyond our continent.”
Heirs Energies’ Commitment to Africapitalism
Heirs Energies, as part of the larger Heirs Holdings Group, is deeply rooted in the principles of Africapitalism—a philosophy that advocates for long-term investments in strategic sectors of the economy to drive development in Africa. The company’s participation in UNGA 79 reflects its ongoing commitment to meeting Africa’s unique energy needs while supporting the next generation of African leaders and innovators.
“As we continue to engage at UNGA 79, our goal remains clear: to advocate for policies and partnerships that will support Africa’s equitable energy transition and entrepreneurial growth, ensuring that the continent’s future is both prosperous and sustainable,” Igiehon added.
