On Tuesday, Nigeria's Vice-President, Yemi Osinbajo, inaugurated the PayGo solar home systems in Wuna village, a rural community in Gwagwalada Area Council, Abuja.
A joint press release highlighted that government’s ambitious renewable energy policy is aimed at increasing energy production from renewable energy sources from 13% of total electricity generation in 2015, to 23% in 2025 and 36% in 2030.
This includes the goal to increase the percentage contribution of solar energy in the total energy mix.
“Nigeria is committed to improve accessibility to power, especially solar power for the people,” Osinbajo said.
