Plateau State governor, Simon Bako Lalong has advocated for the lighting of more rural communities in the state through the deployment of Solar Mini Grid

Governor Lalong who visited the Rural Electrification Agency in Abuja to meet with the Managing Director, Engr Ahmad Salihijo and his management team, commended the Agency for carrying out the 234 KWp Shemankar solar mini grid that has become a successful venture lighting up communities and improving the lives of the people.

He said his visit to the REA was to make another passionate appeal for a Solar Mini-Grid Deployment to Ajikamai, the community hosting the newly established Federal Polytechnic N’yak, Shendam LGA of Plateau State. According to him, as the new polytechnic takes off, power is a major challenge because currently, the area is not connected to the national grid.

He presented other requests to the managing director of the REA, urging the agency to partner with the Plateau State Government, in expanding NESCO’S power generation capacity both in the existing hydro, or exploring other renewables.
