Nigeria's diverse climate and fertile land present an ideal setting for hemp cultivation, which can be a cornerstone in driving economic growth and environmental sustainability. **Sustainable Energy Solutions from Hemp**: As Nigeria seeks alternatives to fossil fuels, hemp emerges as a beacon of hope.

Hemp-derived materials, such as carbon nanosheets for batteries, can propel Nigeria into the forefront of green technology, reducing dependence on imported materials and fostering self-sufficiency. **Challenges and Strategies for Integration**: Integrating hemp into Nigeria's economy comes with its challenges, including regulatory hurdles and the need for infrastructure development. Strategic partnerships, government support, and community engagement are crucial for overcoming these barriers and harnessing hemp's full potential. **Conclusion**: Hemp stands as a symbol of green innovation and sustainability. Its integration into Nigeria's development strategy can be transformative, aligning with #MissionNigeria's vision of a peaceful, prosperous, and sustainable future. As Nigeria marches towards this vision, hemp can play a pivotal role in shaping a greener, more resilient nation. **SEO Keywords**: Sustainable Development Nigeria, Hemp Cultivation, Renewable Energy, Economic Empowerment, Green Technology, Environmental Sustainability, Agricultural Innovation, Nigerian Hemp Industry, Eco-Friendly Practices, Sustainable Agriculture Nigeria. ---
