In his response, training manager at ITF, Kogi State, Engr. Abdulrahman Shehu Wudilawa, said the beneficiaries should consider themselves fortunate as Solar Technology is one of the most lucrative sectors of the Nigerian economy.

He said Nigeria has enough sunlight which is the major raw material for solar energy installation. The ITF provided the training and certification for the beneficiaries.

Speaking on the advantages of solar energy, he said: “Solar energy generation produces no greenhouse gas emissions or air pollutants, significantly reducing the carbon footprint compared to traditional energy sources like coal or natural gas.

It also helps combat climate change.”
