“Nigeria is a country with abundant solar resources but perturbed by serious electricity theft and catastrophic grid outages, which have frequently drawn its people into darkness and hindered economic prosperity,” he said.
According to Tolulope, the power stations provided for the students will make them more productive, especially when there is power outage; as it will avail them the opportunity to continue reading or engage in other productive activities.
Representative of the Rector of Yabatech and the Director for TetFund Centre of Excellence in Skills and Entrepreneurship & Sustainable Development, Architect Sherifdeen Ayodele, expressed delight over the donation by BLUETTI, saying, the solar will go a long way in assisting the students in their daily campus life routine.
