Hey! I am Rashida A. Bambola, an Energy Economist from the University of Ibadan and the Founder of ERWAP Energy Initiative.
My journey began in a university classroom, moved by the devastating impact of energy poverty on African families. I realized then that my academic expertise was a tool meant for high-impact innovation.
Today, I lead ERWAP and our technical production arm, EE
Bioenergy Tech
(www.eebioenergytech.com.ng),
providing 'subsidy-proof' waste-to-energy solutions designed to meet international WHO safety standards. My leadership in the clean energy transition has been recognized by The Tribune, NTA News, and Legit.ng, with further advocacy features published on Oyolnsight.com.
I have successfully partnered with the Federal Ministry of Environment, Oyo State Ministry of Education, the National Park Service, and NAWOJ to drive community-led climate action. As a Vital Voices Fellow, I am committed to restoring the health and dignity of Nigerian families by replacing toxic smoke with sustainable innovation.
