Schneider Electric has promised to support Nigeria and other African countries with sustainable energy solutions that address their needs across critical sectors, including Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG), oil and gas, manufacturing, hospitality, residential, and construction.

The energy and industrial automation firm, in a statement yesterday, celebrating its 25 years of industrial and social impact in Nigeria, noted that since it entered the Nigerian market in 2000, the company’s operations have played a pivotal role in advancing the country’s energy, industrial, and educational sectors.

“Schneider Electric has significantly contributed to Nigeria’s job creation market and regional expansion with a workforce growth from 40 to 250+ employees in Nigeria, a partner base of 300, including distributors, retailers, contractors, system integrators, and panel builders.

“Through its partners, Schneider Electric has created thousands of jobs in Nigeria, contributing to the company’s global network of over six million partners,” it stated.

The Country President, Schneider Electric, Ajibola Akindele, highlighted the company’s expansion to other African countries as a reflection of its dedication to their core mission in providing access to energy and supporting the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals since 2015.

He said: “Schneider Electric has actively contributed to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by the United Nations (UN) in Affordable and Clean Energy, Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Decent Work and Economic Growth, Quality Education, Sustainable Cities and Communities, Responsible Consumption and Production, and Climate Action.
