Firm Targets 3,000MW Of Electricity From Waste

SectorLead Ltd, an indigenous tech firm dedicated to converting waste to power, has set out plans to boost Nigeria’s electricity output by 3,000 megawatts.

The firm said it will commence the groundbreaking feat with a Pilot Phase of 500 megawatts generation across five states: Benue, Oyo, Rivers, Plateau and the FCT.

Disclosing this in Abuja yesterday shortly after the inauguration of the firm’s Board of Directors, Adedayo Mustapha, MD/CEO of SECTORLEAD LTD, noted that the vision of the firm is to transform Nigeria into the first “zero waste smart sustainable” nation in Africa through its “waste-to-energy” project.

He noted that the project has already started drawing international recognition with the Canadian High Commission and several international bodies expressing interest to partner.
Chairman, SectorLead Board of Directors, Dr. Malami Shehu Ma’aji, reiterated his commitment to drive the firm towards the general achievement of its mandate.

In his detailed presentation, Dr. Vincent Dogo, consultant and member of the firm’s Technical Advisory Committee said two models: “Anaerobic and Pyro-thermal” processes would be deployed to convert wastes to energy.

“We are poised to build steam turbines with the combined capacity of 500MW for the five states of Benue, Oyo, Plateau, Rivers and the FCT which can power up to 100,000 homes,” he noted.

The firm added that it has engaged several foreign technical partners to drive the initiative in its project which it said will sufficiently add to the national power availability, which will in turn stimulate productive activities and grow the economy.

The project’s Landfill Remediation objectives are driven towards “Reclaiming, Revegetating, and Afforestation,” SectorLead said.

It added that this will further improve the agricultural and healthcare outcomes for Nigeria as these “Landfills” will be returned to their original natural state.
