National workshop to present the business model for the electrification of public institutions (education and health) in Nigeria

20 February 2025 in Abuja

More than thirty participants from Nigeria’s Federal Ministries of Energy, Health, Education and the Budget, as well as agencies specialising in the energy sector, met on Thursday 20 February, 2025 in Abuja at the initiative of ECOWAS, as part of the implementation of the Regional Off-Grid Electricity Access Project (ROGEAP).

The aim of this important meeting is to present to the various stakeholders the results of the feasibility studies for the electrification of 15 health centres and clinics in the states of FCT, Nasarawa and Niger using solar photovoltaic technology. ROGEAP took this opportunity to present the business models for the sustainable financing of the projects, as well as its implementation strategy. 

ROGEAP is jointly funded by the World Bank, the Clean Technology Fund and the Dutch Government’s Department for International Cooperation, through the Directorate-General for International Cooperation.

As a reminder, on 26 September 2024, an awareness-raising forum was organised to engage all stakeholders in the electrification of public institutions, in particular schools and healthcare facilities in Nigeria.
