Fashola seeks private sector support on power supply
The Federal Government has inaugurated the distribution of 20,000 solar-powered lighting system as part of efforts to provide electricity to rural communities.
Acting President Yemi Osinbajo launched the programme yesterday at Wuna village, a rural community in Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja with the distribution of 200 units to the villagers in the first phase.
Osinbajo, however, said that irrespective of the importance of power to national development, it was not feasible for every Nigerian to tap from the national grid.
According to him: ”In September 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari spoke to me about what we could do to very quickly accelerate rural electrification.”
