Abstract : Nigeria, as a pivotal economic force in Africa, stands on the brink of rapid industrialization. This pursuit holds immense promise, but it is fraught with challenges, not least of which is the need for a sustainable energy transition. This research paper embarks on a comprehensive exploration of the imperative to develop sustainable energy transition options that align with Nigeria's unique socioeconomic and environmental context. It scrutinizes the current energy landscape, identifies industrial priorities, assesses renewable energy potential, and delves into policy, financial, and infrastructural considerations essential for forging a sustainable energy ecosystem. Furthermore, this paper underscores the significance of community engagement, international collaboration, and adaptability as pivotal components of Nigeria's journey toward sustainable industrialization through energy transition.

Keywords : Nigeria, Rapid Industrialization, Energy Transition, Sustainable Energy Transition Options.
