President Muhammadu Buhari has inaugurated a 2.0-megawatt solar-powered electricity project at the Usmanu Danfodiyo University Sokoto (UDUS), which is expected to improve the institution’s energy supply and youth training.

Speaking during the inauguration ceremony, Buhari said that the initiative was a strategic effort employing contemporary technology to address the issue of climate change in order to reduce carbon emissions by 20%.

Buhari who was represented by Alhaji Maigari Dingyadi, Minister of Police Affairs, said that it will enable a safe and conducive learning environment on universities campuses, communities, security as well as support the drive for girl child education and improve the quality of healthcare services.

He explained that the project- being implemented by Rural Electrification Agency (REA)- was done under the Energizing Education Programme (EEP), and conceptualized to power Federal Universities and University Teaching Hospitals in the country.
