The Nasarawa State Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Nigeria Off-Grid Market Acceleration Programme (NOMAP) to ensure a speedy development and implementation of the state’s energy projects and to also boost its power and sustainability agenda.
Daily Trust on Sunday reports that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu recently signed the Electricity Act, 2023, into law.
The Managing Director (MD) of the state’s investment and development agency, Mr Ibrahim Abdullahi, explained that the partnership was a drastic move aimed at bringing Nasarawa’s vision of becoming one of the top three most competitive economies in Nigeria to actualisation.
He said, “The programme will support the Nasarawa State Government with the development of the Nasarawa Off-Grid Energy Policy, build capacity for relevant state government institutions, support in implementation of the policy and facilitate further private sector and development partners support for off-grid clean energy projects in the state.”
