Edo installs 1.5KVA solar power boxes in 100 rural schools


Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo state has said his administration has commenced the installation of 1.5KVA solar power boxes across 100 rural schools in the state.

Special Adviser to the governor on Media and Communication Strategy Mr Crusoe Osagie who disclosed this Sunday in Benin, said the solar power boxes were developed by Green Fusion Energy Ltd.

He said Green Fusion Energy Ltd was a company owned by youths that emerged from innovation and business grooming at the Edo Innovation Hub in the state.

According to him, the installation of the solar boxes in rural schools across the state is a fulfillment of Obaseki’s pledge to the team after they impressed him during a pitch competition.

“The solar boxes are being installed in 100 schools under the State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) by Green Fusion engineers.

“Fifty other youths are undergoing training in different communities where the boxes are being installed,” he said in a statement.

Osagie said the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Skills Development and Job Creation, Mrs Ukinebo Dare, had noted that the installation had been completed in Aibotise Primary School in Etsako West Local Government Area (LGA).

She also said installation was ongoing in Agbomoba Primary School, Agbomoba; and Abesi Primary School in Ovia South West LGA.
