The Minister of Power, Mr Sale Mamman, says the Federal Government is driving a robust solar system strategy that will help in delivering power supply to Nigerians, especially in rural areas.
Mr Aaron Artimas, Senior Special Assistant on Media and Communications to the Minister, made this known in a statement in Abuja.

The statement qouted the minister as disclosing this in Mubi, Adamawa, during the inauguration of the Solar Nigeria Power Projects in various local governments of the state.

He listed the projects inaugurated to include 78 kiloWatts (KW) in Maiha Cottage Hospital, 78KW in Gulak Cottage Hospital, 104KW in Garkida Hospital, 104KW in Michika General Hospital and 104aKW in Mubi General Hospital.

Others, he said, were 208KW in College of Health Technology, Mubi, 36KW in Michika Maternity Hospital and 36KW in PHC Ga’anda.

The minister said the projects were conceived under a technical assistance grant initiative funded by the European Union (EU).

“The project is implemented by the Department for International Development (DFID) with oversight function provided by the Ministry of Power,” he said.

Mamman said the projects were implemented under a framework which provided sustainable, reliable and affordable energy supply consistent with the nation’s commitment to achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“We are grateful to the EU and their implementation partners who collaborated with us to develop these projects,” he said.

He added that providing reliable electricity supply would improve the lives of people through improved health care and education as well as job creation.

“Our being here today reflect a deliberate demonstration of the importance both the state and Federal Government attached to the provision of electricity in remote and underserved rural communities all over Nigeria, using distributed power generation with locally available resource such as solar.

” I want to charge Adamawa government to scale up these pilot solar projects and ensure its sustainability.

” As at today, at least more than 40 new mini-grid projects have been commissioned across the country, providing reliable power supply to over 40,000 people in Off-Grid areas.

“These projects are mostly developed through public-private partnership, confirming the confidence of the private sector,” he said.

He said the ministry would also provide five million households with solar home systems under the Nigeria Economic Sustainability Plan.

Mamman said the initiative was aimed at increasing electricity access and reducing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Nigerians.

Gov. Umar Fintiri, on his part, thanked the Federal Government and its partners for the support and cooperation given to the state.

According to the governor, the projects are highly beneficial to the people.

Representatives of the EU at the occasion, who gave an assurance of more of such partnerships in the energy sector, described the support of the minister as encouraging.

repeating the same statements over and over again is a kind of mental illnesses peculiar to APC members and minions

Okay...




Bicycle has not learnt to run stable on two wheels, but wants to fly in the air like Airforce 1.
Even vehicles running on four balanced wheels have not succeeded in taking off into air.


How well have you done with hydro-power? The issue with electricity-generation in Nigeria is not the generation itself. Kainji can still serve us well if properly managed.

You think solar-generation is the solution to poor power supply? No.

Dynamos are still more reliable than panels.

This is not new nah,

Every house get inverter


Abeg nah better security, education and health sector we want ,

All this eleribuu speech don tire us,

Wetin concern solar with poverty, shey nah person wey never pay nepa bill, what am I even saying, some no get light self jusss because of poverty,


Eleribuu politicians

That makes me remember VISION2020

So that they will have enough electricity to sell to other countries.

For 60 years stable electricity has been rocket science.

You couldnt deliver using water and gas na SUN you wan use?

Cruise country

te kind solar wey go dey burn gadgets

The visionary Move is act now to make SOLAR the morm for HOUSE'S and so remove the load the grid.

So dey won't carry ladder up/down

Na achievement be this??

Long overdue

APC government of Lies

Later now u start hearing news like bandits kidnapped d sun
#BringBackOurBoys

While the diversionary tactics? I thought power isn’t rocket science!

Chai! Shey na upgrading be this abi na downgrading. This electricity matter just tire me.

Solar this time around

Na today?

Them don start again. Abeg free Nigerians abeg.

and bill is for the FREE SUN

Chasing after shadows. How do you expect to utilize solar on such a scale, how are you going to store the energy for use during peak times when the sun is not shining.

All I can see is another scheme to line their pockets and that of their cronies.

So these Slowpokes are finally having sense.

Solar is the solution. A free gift for that matter.

Everybody can have the panel they can afford to power the appliances that matter most to them.
