Sahara Power Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Pan-Atlantic University (PAU) to drive enhanced human capital in the power sector through transformative engineering education, fostering collaboration across industries.
The partnership aims to build capacity through shared knowledge driven by insights, experiences and opportunities for exchange programmes between Sahara and PAU, which is expected to shore up “empirical capacity and impact” required to make the power sector “innovative, adaptable and sustainable” across the value chain.
Managing Director, Sahara Power Group, Dr. Anthony Youdeowei, described the partnership as a town-gown relation, noting that the company is committed to seeking out partnerships that would help drive its vision of creating valuable and sustainable energy solutions.
He said: “We look forward to commencing this promising collaboration, first with Egbin Power Plc, Sahara’s Power Generation Company, and then cascading to our other entities, Ikeja Electric and First Independent Power Limited.”
We are confident that this partnership will chart the roadmap towards transforming Nigeria’s power sector.” Professor of Mechatronics Engineering and the Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, PAU, Prof. Christian Bolu, said that the partnership will help PAU students achieve an “outside perspective,” while understanding the importance of sustainable business practices in solving real-life challenges of the power sector.
