“…From various estimations, it has also been seen that half of the population in Nigeria do not have access to electricity supplies. Different campaigners who have initiated the transition process to renewable energy sources have discovered it as the most efficient way of bringing the different rural communities into a common platform [30]. This transition is further aimed to clean a bit of the population from the worst form of population problems.…”

“…The full form of utilisation and development would lead to sustainable development and reduction in poverty for the economy. The use of renewable energy resources leads to less impact on the environment than any other form of energy sources [30]. For this reason, Nigeria may need to invest more to support development of renewable energy resources.…”

“…This has been a major factor towards turning an oilrich Nigeria into a renewable-based economy [29]. Despite this, RE has been noted as the most efficient way of bringing the different rural communities into a common electricity platform and cleaning a bit of the population from the worst form of pollution [30]. Moreover, a ready and easy access to electricity to every home would further help in reducing the unemployment rates among the youth which would further help in increasing the productivity within the country [31].…”

Our research focuses on the Synthesis for Energy Development of Sustainable Policy for Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC) based on Consumer Behaviour (CB) in the Global South (GS):A Case Study of Nigeria. The knowledge and the need of sustainable energy is evolving globally and so is evidence of increase consumption as long as the energy is available and affordable to the citizens. It has been positioned that Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) should adopt a step-by-step approach to understand consumer behaviour when making an argument for sustainable energy. It has further been established that when structuring environmental values in sustainability debate, it is paramount to apply IMC to spread awareness. There exists laxity on issues such as consumer willingness, awareness, buying decision, knowledge gap, environmental benefits, costing (operation, installation and maintenance) of alternative energy products. This paper argues for the need for adopting the established five phases comprising of "behaviour selection, user orientation, communication, Product, Price, Place, and Promotion). The discussion in the paper argues that the economic development of Nigeria's future depends on the longterm availability of affordable, open and harmless energy for the ecosystem, and that security, climate change and general well-being are closely related to the underpinning energy policy. It further argues for the need for sustainable energy policy in electricity generation capacity, grid connection, electricity transmission, while highlighting the limited range of alternative energy generation. The paper concludes that alternative energy, energy efficiency, asset analysis and valuations are prerequisite to determine the energy potential of Nigeria in her pursuit for sustainable development under the right policy regime. Finally, the paper recommends the promotion and awareness of alternative energies and energy efficiency leveraging on global partnerships for finance and creative alliance. Given the differences in cultural, economic and lifestyle of over 200 million Nigerians, future work will include collection of exhaustive primary data using a survey questionnaire and analytical tools i.e. IBM SPSS. elements of intervention and measurement of behavioural changes". Given the dynamics of Consumer Behaviour (CB) in the selection of energy products and the awareness created by IMC, the paper proposes the use of both positivism (deductive) and interpretivism (inductive) as a research philosophy while recognising the limitations imposed by data collection and reliability in the Global South (GS). This paper builds on the inadequacy and inability of the hitherto existing CB theories to adequately explain what drives consumer decision process to buy a product or service, by offering the practiced and tested 4Ps of marketing (that is

“…Hence, new structures should be designed and constructed in such a manner that there will be insignificant demand for electrical energy. And the existing structures should be retrofitted to reduce energy consumption [1]. But before engaging to the green technology, a means to conserve energy, there should be an execution of energy audit, particularly in electricity, which is the primary step towards improving energy consumption at the facility level and ensuring a degree of acceptable efficiency.…”

The Philippines’ need for electricity has dramatically expanded over the last decade due to the country’s growing economy, population, and significantly subsidized energy rates. Eventually, especially in schools, integrating green technology may be a way to solve the rising need for electrical energy. But the acceptance rate of such technology is low due to the expensive set-up costs, climate irregularities, and insufficient awareness of the customers and trained professionals. But before utilizing green technology, an energy audit should be conducted as it is the first step in reducing energy consumption at the facility level and assuring a level of efficiency that is acceptable. University campus is a representation of diverse buildings with diverse and substantial energy consumption thus providing an excellent testbed to identify the characteristics of the energy consumption of mixed-use buildings. This study was conducted to five universities aimed to evaluate the varied factors that influence electrical energy consumption through estimation of the effects of changes in the consumption of this higher educational institutions (HEI) in terms of their profiles using regression and correlation as a statistical tool. The result will provide preparation for energy management system that can properly identify energy conservation measures.
