This is lovely. A university community should be capable of meeting some of its basic needs through investment in research & development rather than relying on finished products from abroad.

This is a novel initiative worth emulating by all other universities in the country.

Ministry of power will turn their eyes like they didn't see or hear about this great news. The whole Northern Nigeria can power the whole West t Africa.

They do not mean the farm we all know..
When they say solar farm I think it means a large area of land in which solar panel are put in place to generate electricity..
of course I Know, still no solar farm picture there

Nice one... but it's not up to 1 megawatt, how would this power a community? Anyways, kudos to this innovation.

I dont even think the VC knows what he is talking about. How will the University be using a meagre 56KW?

Vado:


If the whole of Nigeria is sustaining itself, albeit inconsistently with roughly 5000 megawatts, How can you underrate the reach of 214kw in say 2/3 rural villages?

That is just a 375KVA generator.

Are you sure this University knows what they are talking about? Because this power should not be sufficient for the University alone let alone even giving others.

Except the so called university is just a few small buildings.

yes of course. How can you be reporting a news that a solar farm was unveiled, but no picture of the solar farm. Instead, you are showing us picture of the school gate.

More reason why it should be there. At least, they can carry out research and test properly.

I commend Dr Adewumi for this giant stride.
I heard you worked in the UK before coming back to Nigeria to establish a university.

I would not mind going off grid if I were around the university, I will just augment with generator.

I hope our Federal universities can emulate this.
