“We are already launching and ready to commence equipment procurement for the five selected states of Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Enugu, Ogun, and Plateau,” he said.
He reiterated EU’s commitment to executing the project which will focus on expanding access to clean, efficient, and reliable energy supply.
A Stakeholder Manager, NTU International observed that the second steering committee meeting which has brought together all participating states, discussed core issues of sustainability and operations to deliver the solar for health projects in their state and at the state level focusing on state ownership, stakeholder responsibilities, maintenance, and distribution.
“We are channeling strategic discussions around how we can totally address the issue of sustainability and what private sector models are needed to deliver in each state and how they will ultimately operate within the States.
