The University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has signed a memorandum of
agreements with a United States of America-based firm for the production
and installation of 500 megawatts solar powered plant.
The solar
powered plant to be located inside the campus is part of effort to curb
the incessant power outages in some parts of the country especially
Lagos and Kano states.
Addressing
journalists after the signing of the agreements, the Vice Chancellor of
the University of Ilorin, Professor Abdulganiyy Ambali, explained that
the public private partnership with the firm will cost the company 600
billion naira.
The General Manager of Arrow Capital, Brian Travis,
noted that the project when completed by October 2016 would serve both
Lagos and Kano states as the megawatts would be sold to them in
accordance with the permission of the federal government.
