LTI Re Energy of Germany has recently signed an agreement with NIGUS International of Nigeria to construct 500 MW of solar energy in the North East zone, beginning with Adamawa State. The Nigerian Investment Promotion Commission (NIPC) has endorsed the deal in which the conglomerate has made known its intention to commit $600 million to the development of solar energy in the zone.
Nyako said that Nigeria had the potential to become the nucleus of the power supply in West Africa. He said: “As we stabilise electricity, commerce will come naturally, and I think it will have an impact not only in the North East region, but virtually in the whole country. Primarily, what we are discussing goes beyond Adamawa State. We are talking of the future of Nigeria, we are talking of renewable energy, and this is the trend worldwide.”
