Firm trains Ibadan residents – The Nation Newspaper

EnergyPro, in collaboration with Polska Fundacja dla Afryki, has trained and empowered Ibadan residents in installation of solar panels and safety and construction of power banks.

The firm said its focused was promoting renewable energy across Nigeria and beyond, adding that one of its mandates was using renewable energy to make money, empower people and make life better for Nigerians.

Speaking at the opening of the company’s office in Ibadan, the Co-founder of ‘EnergyPro’, Akinmolayan Peter, said the rationale behind the event was to give back to the society, ‘’because solving problems and empowering people are the best ways to live in peace.’’

He urged Nigerians to embrace the use of solar energy, as it remained the future of the country’s economic development.

He noted that the economy of the nation would remain stagnant without constant power supply.

Former commissioner in Oyo State, Prof. Raphael Afonja, said no country could have meaningful development without stable and adequate power supply.

He advised beneficiaries of the training and empowerment to be competitive and leverage on the skills acquired during the workshop.

Prince Abiodun Adeyemi, who lauded ‘Energy Pro’, said the training and empowerment would be of benefit to the beneficiaries, adding that ‘’power is very important to the development of any nation.’’

Some of the beneficiaries said the training would add value to them ‘’because Nigerians need electricity either at home or for their businesses because power outage is one of the major problems confronting Nigeria.’’
