FG announce two communities in Kaduna State record two straight years of uninterrupted supply

  

  The Federal Government has announced that Gnami and Pakau communities in Kaduna State recently recorded two straight years of uninterrupted supply of electricity.

    The Permanent Secretary in the power arm of the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing,  Louis Edozien, said the feat was achieved through the renewable energy project of the ministry, which provides access to electricity for rural dwellers, using solar powered systems.

   Edozien disclosed this when delegates from the Economic Community of West African States visited the two communities to mark the end of the regional training workshop on improvement of policy and regulatory framework for clean energy mini-grids.

   The permanent secretary said the project was in line with the administration’s drive to provide electricity to rural communities that might not in the distant future have access to power supply because of their distance from the national grid.
