Electricity has remained a major challenge to citizens of the Africa’s largest economy despite government spending trillions of Naira to solve the problem.

It was this problem Lumos Nigeria saw that brought about its Y’ello Box, an at-home solar electricity device that lets users gain access to reliable electricity at an affordable price.

This week, the mobile solar energy firm sold its 60,000th Y’ello Box to a farmer in Lagos identified as Mr. John Stephen Akpan.

The Lumos service is combining the power of the sun and your MTN mobile phone to bring a new type of power to Nigeria.

This significant milestone means more than 300,000 people right across Nigeria are now benefitting from affordable, reliable, clean electricity, thanks to the Lumos Mobile Electricity serviceability to unleash the power of the mobile.

Mobile phones have transformed the way we spend our daily lives. In fact, a recent report declared Nigeria as the ‘world’s most mobilized country’ with more mobile traffic than any other nation. With more and more mobiles, they not only drive our demand for more accessible and reliable power, but they can also help provide the solution.

Lumos Mobile Electricity Service operates in partnership with MTN and once MTN customers join the service, they pay their monthly subscription fee for power from their MTN’s mobile phones by texting a simple code.

There’s no need for mobile money, bank accounts or expensive machines. This is quick, easy, affordable, quiet and clean.

Commenting on his landmark purchase, Mr. John Stephen Akpan, said, “The Y’ello Box is making a big difference. I was using a noisy, polluting generator, but now that Lumos has arrived, my farm has been transformed instantly.

“I was surprised at how easy and quick the installation was, and that I was able to start using it straight away.”

On the part of Yuri Tsitrinbaum, CEO of Lumos Nigeria, “The mobile revolution has transformed our need for power, and the mobile electricity service is also going to be a significant part of the answer.

“The Nigerian economy will thrive if we give people the power they need to succeed. We cannot wait, and we need put power in everyone’s own hands.

“At Lumos, we have built a unique system that uses groundbreaking technology to harness the energy of the sun, capture and store it, and release it thanks to your mobile phone.

“The energy mix in Nigeria is a complex issue which we all need to work together to solve. We believe we have created something fantastic that is bringing power to people’s homes and businesses like nothing else before.”
