原文原文 / Original Text

The Managing Director of the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), Abba Aliyu, has stated that 22 federal universities and three affiliated teaching hospitals are connected to solar electricity under its Energizing Education Program.

Speaking during the commissioning of a 3MW captive solar hybrid power project at Yakubu Gowon University, Abuja, Aliyu said the project has now delivered renewable energy infrastructure to tertiary institutions, leading to the delivery of over 100 megawatts of clean energy to federal universities and teaching hospitals.

“This is just one of the projects that we have completed and the entire program is positively impacting more than 300,000 students and over 50,000 academic and administrative staff with 100MW of clean energy deployed,” he said.

He said the 3MW project will support critical campus infrastructure, including lecture halls, laboratories, ICT systems and administrative facilities, campus lighting and other essential services.

“It gives the university a more predictable energy base and strengthens its ability to operate as a modern teaching and research institution. These numbers are important, but the true value of the Energizing Education Program is not measured by the megawatts. It is measured by improved lighting environment, laboratories that can function more reliably, safer campuses, reduced pressure on university operating budgets, and the confidence it gives the institution to plan around reliable power.

On his part, the Minister of Power, Joseph O. Tegbe, said the investment demonstrated the practical connection between Nigeria’s energy transition and human capital development.

“There is perhaps no better place to demonstrate the practical value of Nigeria’s energy transition than a university,” Tegbe said.

“A university brings together everything that a modern energy system is expected to support: learning, research, healthcare, technology, administration and, increasingly, the digital infrastructure through which knowledge is created and shared,” he added.
