The Lagos State Electricity Board’s Renewable Energy project aims at maximizing power supply through independent power projects (IPPs) and improving public lighting for the citizens of the state.
A remarkable aspect of the initiative is the provision of solar light bulbs to students and the rural communities.
FCMB’s Group Head, Corporate Communications, Mr. Ikechukwu Kalu said " We have participated in this Renewable Energy project in partnership with the Lagos State Electricity Board because the project is in line with the moral direction of giving back to society which we share with the Lagos State Government. At FCMB, we believe that the communities in which we operate must benefit from our presence”.
Mr. Ikechukwu Kalu went further to say, “The rechargeable solar energy lamps will not only support the beneficiaries in their quest for knowledge which will eventually lead many out of the vicious cycle of poverty, but provide opportunity for students to be introduced to the essential paradigm of renewable energy and environmental sustainability”.
Damilola Ogunbiyi, General Manager, Lagos State Electricity Board believes that the provision of solar light bulbs to school children in the state by FCMB will have a significant impact on their living conditions. “Our aim in providing solar bulbs for school children is to enhance their efficiency and promote studying habits in them.
We see FCMB as not only our bankers, but also as our energy development partners in this laudable initiative”, he said.
