At the ongoing COP 28 summit, Nigeria’s Infrastructure Corporation (InfraCorp) achieved a significant milestone by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch a groundbreaking 1GW Solar PV manufacturing plant.

This strategic move is poised to unlock the potential of various economic sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, and education, while contributing to Nigeria’s commitment to sustainable development and Net Zero emissions.

The MoU was signed by Dr. Lazarus Angbazo, the Chief Executive of InfraCorp, who represented the government-supported infrastructure investment entity. The partnership involves two key collaborators, Solarge BV of the Netherlands and the African Green Infrastructure Investment Bank.

The proposed solar PV manufacturing plant is anticipated to be one of the world’s first large-scale production facilities dedicated to lightweight solar panels with an ultra-low carbon footprint. This groundbreaking initiative aligns with global efforts to transition towards renewable energy sources and environmentally friendly technologies.

The project’s significance extends beyond its potential to meet energy demands; it is expected to play a crucial role in Nigeria’s commitment to sustainable local manufacturing and the development of critical infrastructure. By focusing on cutting-edge solar technology, the nation aims to make strides in reducing its carbon footprint and achieving Net Zero emissions.

InfraCorp, established and co-owned by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Africa Finance Corporation (AFC), and Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA), is a government-backed entity dedicated to driving infrastructure investments. Collaborating with Solarge BV and the African Green Infrastructure Investment Bank highlights the global cooperation necessary to address climate change and promote sustainable practices.

Dr. Lazarus Angbazo, expressing optimism about the venture, emphasized the potential positive impact on various economic sectors. The lightweight solar panels produced by the facility are expected to catalyze advancements in agriculture, healthcare, and education by providing a reliable and sustainable energy source.

Nice initiative, if only it’ll come to fruition.

Feels good to be FTC on a Frontpage thread

long over due

If Tinubu makes this a reality and ensure the 6 geopolitical zone accross Nigeria.

I will join his supporters.

Lack of power supply is killing dreams and ideas in Nigeria.


The challenge though is that while this company tries to set up.

certain people in certain quarters will insist that if they don't have shares or if their son is not in management. The company can't operate. When Oyibo can't handle corruption. They pack up and go. May this solar company see the light of the day.

Nigeria has no business being in darkness. Me wey dey country where we don't boast of 20 degrees sunlight in a year. I still have solar in my house to support electricity. My Battery is 30 years warranty. solar panel 99 years warranty. Solar will work in Naija if we get it right. Not the solar we buy from China.

if the MOU translates to tangible project...that will be good

Naso

Good one

Manufacturing without electricity??

Nothing interest me in this helll

I hope they get this right and not for show

Wish it manifest. 'Cos, no be today dem don dey sign MOU's wey dey yield nothing.

Another propaganda

What we need to see is the actual physical actualization, and not the multiple MOUs, proposals, visions and unfulfilled goals.

Great, we thank God for giving us President Tinubu. I’m more than convinced we will start getting things right as a country under this government.


God bless Nigeria.

during the elections, I was amazed that folks couldnt see Tinubu for who he is from a close distance how much more from a far.

After 9months, you are still having hope.

Tinubu didnt seek for office for good governance. Tinubus style of governance is to use government resources for cronies just sso they can be loyal to him.

Person wey pack 1400 people go Dubai for jamboree na im want make he give us light?

Ever since the Pandora criminal called Obi was kicked to the gutters in the last presidential elections, IPOB cannibals have been waging an online war with Nigeria.

IPOB cannibals just hate to hear any good news about Nigeria

Great. THEY should also ensure the project is sited in the south, perhaps 500KWA in SE/SS and another 500KWA in the SW zone since majority of facilities powering our national grid in term of presence and capacity are situated in the northern zones.
