A UNITED STATES-BASED Technical Consumer Products Incorporated in collaboration with Allsort Shop Warehouse Limited has concluded plans to provide 7,013MW of electricity under a project tagged: “Go Green Nigeria, Light up Nigeria”.
The two companies said in a statement, that the set target would be achieved through the provision of 100 million energy-saving bulbs into the power sector to check undue wastage of the limited power in the country and to save the climate and environment through reduction of carbon emissions from power generating plants.
The partnership’s pilot scheme carried out in Oduduwa community of Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State showed a tremendous success, which necessitated the drive to apply the initiative nationwide. Similar initiatives had been carried out in other countries including Ghana and have proved to be both successful and sustainable.
The President of Go Green Nigeria Project, Engr. Oyebode Oyeneye, a power engineer and former director in the Federal Ministry of Power, told reporters in Lagos, that the Go Green Nigeria project is predicated on the outcome of the Oduduwa research and success story.
He said his experience as a power engineer who handled some strategic responsibilities in the power sector, showed the Go Green Nigeria project will significantly complement government’s efforts and help in achieving the Federal Government’s road map on electricity and its power sector reforms.
