For centuries, Indians have stored rainwater in lake-like tanks, stepwells, & using underground storage.

Today, over 6,000 dams play this role —irrigating land, protecting against floods, and generating power for India’s growth.

Africa's future will not be built by ambition alone. It will be built by capacity, innovation, and the courage to create solutions that work for our people.

At NASENI, that belief shows up in the technologies we develop, the engineers we train, and the systems we are building so Africa doesn't just consume the future — it manufactures it.

The Africa we desire is possible. It begins with what we choose to build today.

Happy Africa Day.

Today, I had the honour of flagging off the Renewed Hope Solarization Project, a 1MW mini-grid initiative at @BUK_Nigeria. This project represents a significant step in our commitment to delivering sustainable, reliable, and clean energy to critical institutions across Nigeria.

Following comprehensive energy audits and careful evaluation of the university’s needs, a modern LONGi solar PV system has been deployed to provide efficient and dependable power across the campus.

As part of this intervention, we also commissioned 200 solar-powered streetlights to enhance safety and expand energy access within the university environment.

I commend the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Haruna Musa, for his leadership and collaboration in advancing this initiative. Bayero University Kano remains a strategic institution, and we are proud to support its growth and development. I am also honoured to have received an award from the Vice-Chancellor in recognition of our efforts.

At the Energy Commission of Nigeria, we remain focused on translating policy into tangible impact, driving the Renewed Hope Agenda through innovative, inclusive, and sustainable energy solutions.
