No fewer than 200 female students from various secondary schools across the state have been admitted into the first batch of Intensive Solar Energy Training, organised by the office of the wife of Ondo State Governor, Betty Akeredolu in collaboration with a Non-governmental Organisation Ashadam Solar Initiative.
The week long programme held at Elizade University, Ilara-Mokin and tagged “Solar 4girls Naija” was aimed towards enhancing the beneficiaries on the learning of energy management and exposed them to green energy source as well as basic solar energy electricity.
Other benefits of the programme were building of solar panel, life enhancement skills, sanitation and menstrual hygiene, climatic change awareness, breast health awareness as well as fitness and aerobics among others.
In her keynote address while declaring the programme open, the wife of the Ondo State Governor, Betty Anyawu Akeredolu, who is also the initiator of the programme, said the training was necessary in view of the incessant power failure challenge in the country.
While congratulating the beneficiaries, Betty Akeredolu advised people to leave their comfort zone whenever they identified any challenge and get into the solution arena in order to proffer enduring solution.
