The government gave the nod in Umuahia, the state capital at a one-day stateholders workshop organised the NoMAP on the policy for the ministries, departments, and agencies..

According to the resource persons, the NoMAP is a brainchild of Shell Foundation, USAID and supported by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, and a couple of other donour agencies.

They also informed the participants that most of the work the NoMAP do centre around policy and regulation, intervention like funding to off-grid companies, stateholders engagement, and capacity building.

A program associate with NoMAP Jennifer Anya Lekwa said they are helping the ministries, departments, and agencies with the documentation of their policies and plan of action for off-grid electricity.
