Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has stated that Solar Power Projects commissioned under the Energizing Education Programme is a testament to the fulfillment of the Next Level agenda, of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Prof. Osinbajo said this recently in Kano State, where he commissioned the 7.1MW Solar Hybrid Power Plant, at Bayero University Kano, which is the largest off-grid solar hybrid power plant in Africa.

According to him, this is the second Solar Plant to be commissioned within one month. He, therefore, reiterated the government’s commitment to powering Nigeria – one university, one market, one community at a time.”

He revealed that the installed 7.1MW decentralized Solar Hybrid Power Plant will supply power to over 58,000 students and staff.

The Vice President further emphasized that, the ultimate goal of the Buhari administration’s Next level roadmap policies and objectives under the Energizing Education Programme, is to increase access to modern technical education in safe and illuminated learning environments, empower the girl child, and create jobs in the power sector value chain, amongst others.

He added that this project would create 182 energy related jobs from power system engineers to electricians as well as train 20 young female Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) students with the skills to contribute to strengthening our energy sector.

He said, “This significant initiative upholds the Federal Government’s adherence to global best practice, as we transition to cleaner sources of energy in line with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. These projects being implemented by the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) are strategic to fulfilling our commitments to the Agreement as they strive to reduce Nigeria’s carbon footprint.

“The leveraging of renewable energy technologies is in line with the Federal Government mandate and related activities. Nigeria’s plan to reduce carbon emissions by 20% unconditionally and 45% with international support by 2030 aims to limit the damaging effects of climate change.

“This remarkable off-grid solar hybrid power plant being commissioned today is already on its way to bringing these goals and objectives to fruition.”

Good

This happened in Nigeria? Good news

That installation although being impressive for a country like Nigeria, is not the largest in Africa.

Just use Google and see...try it.

That's nice

All we need is commitment on the part of our leaders and patriotism on the part of the citizens and Nigeria will be a force to reckon with among the committee of Nations.

Isn't this such developments we want in Nigeria? I'm just wondering if we have gotten the maintenance culture.

Nigerians should leave countries they are not wanted, our survival instincts is very high. We don't even want to live with ourselves. Let's deal with the truth.
Have you ever wondered why Nigerians will still cart away foods at a party where not everyone has eaten. Yet we blame our leaders that stole us blind.

Good development. We are waking up little by little. Moment by moment, we will employ by achieving a little every year and not spending all our time in politics and religion.

wow that's nice

Ji
