Now,
more than ever, renewable energy is creating more opportunities for
people across the globe and a rural community in Anambra state, Nigeria
is about to get access to electricity following the completion of an
electrification project funded by Nigeria’s Bank of Industry (BOI). The
unveiling of the solar project took place in Onono-Anam community in
Anambra state and was commissioned by the Executive Governor of the
state, Willie Obiano.
Nigeria is presently rocked with controversies surrounding electricity tariffs for those connected to the national grid, Therefore the development is a welcome relief to the community as the 24KW mini-grid project will ensure every home in the community has access to solar power. The project was executed in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Nigerians have commended the initiative even as the acting MD/CEO of the Bank of Industry, Waheed Olagunju has said the bank is dedicated to replicating this project in rural communities in Edo and Kaduna states.
