Solar energy projects supported by Universal Energy Facility power businesses at Iponri Market in Nigeria
On 11 November, the Chief of Staff to the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, Femi Gbajabiamila alongside Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Sustainable Energy for All, Damilola Ogunbiyi, visited Iponri Market in Surulere, Lagos State and inspected the first phase of solar installations deployed within the popular market. They were accompanied by Sterling Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, Abubakar Suleiman and All On’s Chief Executive Officer, Caroline Eboumbou.
This visit to Iponri Market afforded the dignitaries the opportunity to interact with the end-users and provided valuable insights into the impact of clean and reliable energy on their respective business operations.
The solar projects, funded by Universal Energy Facility (UEF) a results-based finance facility administered by Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL) and executed by SOLAD Integrated Power, a clean energy and technology company, is an exciting development that underscores the commitment of both the Nigerian government and the Universal Energy Facility (UEF) to promoting sustainable energy solutions in the country.
