The Rural Electrification Agency wishes to make clear that the planned Energizing Education Programme (EEP) which aims to provide dedicated and reliable electricity to Federal Universities is on course for delivery in 2018, and is already part of the 2017 budget.
Allegations that the MD/CEO made any statements to the contrary are patently untrue and are at best, a misunderstanding and at worst, a campaign to deny our federal universities the opportunity to access uninterrupted power. Mrs. Damilola Ogunbiyi stated in fact that a majority of the Universities under the EEP are located in rural as well as underserved communities, hence the REA’s involvement.

do anyone ever benefits from this govt. Rubbish govt

Okay.

Ok

Tmm

Someone should please enlighten me on what some of our public universities are doing to internally generate energy for the school community.

Running away from the main issue and chasing shadow. This again be another "Abuja city security camera" project.

I hear next

It shouldn't when the same government have given them industrial generators and diesel them.

But all the schools listed above are owned by the federal government.

The problem is not saying this and that but doing them. I pray they can implement this.

and yet some people will come here and attack Oyedepo when Covenant University generates its own electricity,
Private Universities are taking over while public universities Struggle and live on past glories.

Ui no dey there?

now the question is, is this the top priority of those universities? most of these schools already av solar street lights scattered around their campuses. Why not meet with dem to know what each school needs n calculate wat each skul's share should be n use it to do wat dey want for dem, because if dey do d solar street light, d skul may not take ownership n thereby not maintain it since it was foisted on dem n not necessarily way dey need.

How can three federal universities from the same region be on that list. Waste of fund.

Some headlines are just there to keep people cliking at every second.

Neither will state Institutions benefits

God bless uniuyo

So it means that our engineering students can't generate steady power if given the chance and money instead of going to spend such huge amount of money on solar power supply that won't last up to a single year
