MINISTER of Works, Housing and Electricity  Babatunde Fashola  said yesterday the government is deploying solar energy in nine universities.

He spoke at the 32nd Convocation Lecture of Yabatech College of Technology.

Fashola said the power plant would deliver 12 megawatts of electricity in the universities to aid power generation.

“We are deploying solar energy in Nigerian universities today. The first nine  schools are under construction and  they will deliver 12megawatts of electricity to these schools.  We will move from phase to phase until we complete it in the 37 states,” the minister said.

Fashola, who spoke on the theme: “Sustainability  of technological advancements – a key to  industrial  growth”, noted that the ministry has  invested in innovative areas that would improve power generation and distribution.

He urged the graduating students to be technological and innovative-minded to move the wheels of economic growth.

The minister said: “I want to see new things. You are graduating into a world of artificial intelligence.  This is a world that you will answer the skills that the school has empowered you with.  No matter how much progress  you think has been made, there is still room to do more. This is really the heart of technology in the pursuit of knowledge.

“The interesting thing today is that it is still difficult to store electricity, but not totally impossible. That may be the next revolution. That may be a student here  who will change what we know about electricity, to bring that revolution to light.  Some people  are already ahead but you can overtake them and be the one who turns the story of Nigeria and Africa around because there are so much to do with this wheel called electricity.

“Some people have generated it,  some people have transported it, some have distributed it, but who can store it? You cannot afford to sleep; add value. I believe if this problem is solved, it will improve the value chain of electricity.  In the next few years, we will not have all these problems because we can carry 10 megawatts of electricity in our pockets and is safe.  So, it is very possible to store electricity, if we find a better way out.  But I will continue  to do my work before we get there.”

Anyone who says Fashola has not worked, is not working OR will not take us to the next level should have his brain checked..

We have never had a performing minister like Fashola since the birth of Nigeria...

I have imagined this man being the Minister of Works, housing and Electricity for another 4years and I have seen a Nigeria filled with white immigrants seeking greener pastures

This sure looks like a project that they hope to use as campaigning tool for the dullard.

We will not be swayed Mr fashola; you and your cloned Sudanese boss are leaving office in 2019.

Besides, these funds could be injected into ASUU so that our kids can continue their education as that is their primary motive for being there.

Smart guy, he has been gradually removing heavy power consumers from the national grid through solar, first were some markets and now universities tongue as usual hatefulness won't let some people see anything positive in fact they prefer to vote for the man who sold off all Nigeria's power asset to his friends and merely apologized like its no big deal

GOOD MOVE

But the federal and state government in Nigeria should develop the gas based power sector.

BEDC, and the rest companies that is licensed to provide electricity is all total failure.
