The rector disclosed that after the training, the beneficiaries will each be supported with business startup package of N1m worth of solar products by Riccofortezza-Asteven Energy Limited and commended the company for being socially and environmentally responsible.

Somide encouraged other companies engaged by the Kwara State government to emulate Riccofortezza-Asteven Energy Limited in giving back to the State.
