The Oyo State Government, through the Ministry of Energy, provided infrastructure support and funding for the project, demonstrating its commitment to renewable energy.
Commissioner for Energy Seun Ashamu praised the partnership with renowned renewable energy experts, which has led to similar projects in 26 other rural communities across the state. Residents of Ajia Town are thrilled about their new access to electricity, expressing hope for a brighter future.
This solar revolution in Oyo State showcases the potential of renewable energy to transform lives, even in rural communities. Governor Seyi Makinde’s administration has made renewable energy a priority, and this project is a testament to that commitment.
