About this listen
“Mr. Ayuk shows how the oil and gas industry can unleash economic development and prosperity across the continent.” —The late OPEC Secretary General, Mohammad Barkindo
In just a few short decades, the many countries of our planet have become interconnected beyond our wildest imaginations. And as our view of the world has expanded, there has been a rise in the demand for cultures and political institutions around the world to “think globally.” While thinking globally is often well-meaning, acting globally without consideration for local countries can unintentionally cause harmful results.
In A Just Transition, renowned Cameroonian author and entrepreneur NJ Ayuk reveals how this sobering reality is unfolding as the International Energy Agency’s ambitious green energy (IEA) policies have stifled and crippled the energy economies of Africa.
When the IEA set a hard requirement for countries around the world to embrace “green” energy sources, the burgeoning energy economies of Africa watched in horror as funding and business interest in their oil and gas energy projects evaporated.
With a natural abundance of oil and gas resources, Africa has the potential to be a global energy leader. But this transformation cannot happen for African countries through green energy alone. A Just Transition is an insightful exploration into the possibility of a bright future for African countries and the factors that stand in the way of its manifestation.
NJ Ayuk takes listeners on a detailed, expert journey through the following topics:
- The reality of energy poverty
- The value of natural gas in Africa
- How foreign aid actually harms Africa
- Embracing new technology
- Creating opportunities for women
- And much more!
With thoughtful governance, a keen eye for opportunity, and the due consideration of the countries affected by a sweeping legislation, it is possible for countries in Africa to make a transition to renewable energy that is not only just but prosperous for all involved.

Author Milan Kordestani shows us that although challenging conversations can be unpleasant, they can also help us grow. Sometimes, people inspire us to change how we speak, making us better communicators in the process as we search to find common ground with those with whom we disagree. Kordestani uses contemporary case studies and personal experience to teach listeners how to have constructive conversations by engaging in civil discourse—the idea that good-faith actors can reach consensus on any opinion-based disagreement.

Another Insightful Masterpiece from Ayuk
I am a nobody, but for what it's worth I have nothing but the utmost respect and admiration for this author and his work. After listening to his first book, "Billions at Play," which I thoroughly enjoyed, I had to give this one a go as well, and I was not disappointed. He basically explains how oil and other forms of energy are vital to Africa's growth, not just oil. Renewable and non-renewable sources of energy can be used together for a more prosperous Africa. He explains how he believes energy development is the key to Africa's success, and most importantly, he argues that Africans themselves must take responsibility for their own shortcomings and start working for the betterment of everyone on the continent and be at the forefront of the energy sector in Africa. This book is a must-read for anyone with any interest in engaging in the energy sector in Africa, be he/she Africans or foreigners. I very highly recommend this book, and I sincerely thank the author for writing it. Very educational.
