To improve education and expand access to clean energy, a firm, Ignite Energy Access Nigeria, has completed a solar electrification project in 34 schools across rural communities in 19 states, providing thousands of students with stable power for learning and digital education.

The initiative, which deployed high-quality MySol solar systems, targeted schools with little or no access to the national grid, enabling continuous power supply for classrooms, laboratories, and digital learning equipment.

The firm noted that the project transformed learning environments that had long depended on irregular or non-existent electricity. Managing Director of Ignite Energy Access Nigeria and Regional Director, West Africa, Mangiza Phiri, said the project reflected the firm’s commitment to bridging educational inequality through renewable energy.

He said, “This project is part of our commitment to using clean energy to bridge the educational gap in underserved areas. Access to power should never be a barrier to a child’s future.”

The solar systems were installed in schools across Benue, Cross River, Ebonyi, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Abuja FCT, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara, Lagos, Nasarawa, Niger, Ogun, Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Plateau, and Taraba states.

Vice Principal of Community Secondary School, Umueze, Awkunano Nkannu, Enugu State, Very Rev. Boniface Chimezie Ewo, one of the project beneficiaries, described the intervention as life-changing.

He said, “This support has brought real excitement to our school. Both staff and students are truly grateful to be selected as one of the beneficiaries of the rural electrification project. It has made a meaningful difference, and we appreciate the team for this impactful gesture.”
