President Goodluck Jonathan Flaged Off "Light Up Rural Nigeria" Project.

President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday flagged off the light up rural Nigeria project with the official commissioning of the solar power project in Durumi community, Bwari Area council in Abuja, with over 1,000 homes as beneficiaries.

The light up rural Nigeria is an initiative of the ministry of power planned for the post- privatisation period and specifically targeted at providing electricity for off-grid rural communities.

To ensure the success of the project, Jonathan yesterday disclosed that the federal government will within the first quarter of 2014 launch new policies to support renewable energy and attract private investors.

In his remarks, minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, explained that for the Durumi project, government partnered mostly with Schneider Electric of France and partly Phillips Electronics of Netherlands to deliver electricity to over 1,000 households.
