The momentum continues.
Following earlier disbursements under the Lotus Bank facility for the REA mini grid project “DARES”, we are seeing yet another strong signal of progress.
This time, ₦7.95 billion has been disbursed to Havenhills to finance critical equipment for 4 mini-grid power projects across Taraba State, Kwara State, and Kogi State. In addition, ₦1.056 billion has been disbursed to Faraday & Otstred Limited for mini-grid deployments across 3 sites in Niger State.
What is particularly encouraging here is the consistency. This is not a one-off. It is a pattern with capital being deployed, projects moving forward, and confidence in the system continuing to grow.
For developers, this means access to the equipment and financing needed to deliver. For communities, it means faster timelines to reliable power. And for the market, it reinforces the simple point that local financing is stepping up in a real way.
This is exactly the kind of energy we hoped to unlock, where Nigerian financial institutions take the lead in powering Nigeria’s renewable infrastructure, backed by strong, performance-based frameworks.
We are building momentum, and it is beginning to show.

Sheikh Prof. Abdulganiyu Abdus-Salam Oladosu Al-Adabiy, widely known as AGAS, is a distinguished Nigerian scholar of Arabic and Islamic studies and the former Chief Imam of the University of Ilorin Central Mosque.

At the University of Ilorin, he served as the Director of several units, including the Academic Planning Unit and the Centre for Ilorin Studies.
He was appointed Deputy Chief Imam of the University of Ilorin in 1992 and became the substantive Chief Imam in 2008. He retired from the university on his 70th birthday in February 2020.
He is renowned for his exceptional command of English, Arabic, and Yoruba, often serving as a spellbinding communicator and exegete on the minbar (pulpit).
Contributions to Society: Beyond academia, he has facilitated the building of over 40 mosques and is a strong advocate for the elevation of Arabic education in Nigeria.
He remains a highly respected mentor and "teacher of Professors," known for his uprightness, humility, and dedication to the intellectual legacy of his predecessors.
