To effectively fulfill its mandate, the Centre, through its various units, engages in strategic partnerships and collaborations across national, regional, and international levels. Of particular significance is its strong and productive relationship with its host institution, the University of Benin, as well as with state governments across the South-South region of Nigeria. These partnerships emphasize the promotion of energy transition, clean technologies, and environmental sustainability. Through these collaborative efforts, the Centre has cultivated a high level of symbiosis with the academic community, advancing joint research, capacity building, and multidisciplinary innovation.
