In an exclusive interview, Nosa Igiehon Okunbo, CEO and founder of Windek Energy, shares his vision and the strategies the company employs to drive the energy transition. Growing up in Nigeria, Okunbo witnessed the detrimental effects of improperly managed energy systems and dirty fuels, which inspired him to get involved in Nigeria's energy transition.
