FG APPROVES ₦68.7BN POWER PROJECTS TO BOOST EDUCATION AND RURAL ECONOMY
The Federal Government is investing ₦68.7 billion in new solar power projects to ensure reliable electricity for public universities, teaching hospitals, and rural agro-businesses. Announced by Minister Adebayo Adelabu after President Tinubu’s FEC meeting, the initiative targets eight major federal institutions with solar systems under the Energising Education Programme and powers rural agricultural centres to strengthen value chains.
With timelines of three to nine months, these projects—funded by the Renewed Hope Infrastructure Development Fund—aim to end power struggles in education and healthcare, while empowering rural communities to drive economic growth. This marks a bold step in Nigeria’s power sector reforms and a commitment to sustainable development.
