NigComSat's Managing Director, Mrs. Nkechi Jane Egerton-Idehen, said the portable inverter system with solar panel used for the project would provide uninterrupted power supply.

The agency boss said using green energy solution has been delivered while members of the installation team were in the local government areas.

She said the installation began on March 5 in Kabba-Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State.

A statement by the agency's Head of Media, Stephen Kwanda, said Mrs. Egerton-Idehen explained that Kogi State was the first to benefit from the project, covering five local government areas of the state.
