The Federal Government has reiterated its commitment to improving rural electrification through the provision of sustainable energy solutions.
The Managing Director of the Rural Electrification Agency, Abba Aliyu, made this known on Thursday while inaugurating the 100kWp Solar Hybrid Mini Grid in Uhuafor Nomeh community in Nkanu East Council Area of Enugu State.
Aliyu, represented by the Executive Director of the Rural Electrification Fund (REA), Doris Uboh, stated that the project was executed by the REA through the federal government’s Rural Electrification Fund in line with transformative efforts to enhance rural electrification.
The managing director, while noting that the project would serve as a catalyst for social and economic growth in the community, explained that the technology was designed to have a transformative impact on the lives of over 3,000 residents of the community.
He therefore urge the men and women of the community to take charge, protect the facility, and utilise it productively to drive the community forward, while promising that the project would continue until it gets to other communities across the nation.
