Bayero University, Kano, now hosts the largest off grid solar hybrid power plant in Africa, under the Rural Electrification Agency’s Energizing Education Programme (EEP). This project, was commissioned on September 3, 2019 by the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, GCON.
As part of its client support to the Rural Electrification Agency, Credo Advisory drafted speeches for the Vice President, Emir of Kano, Minister of Power, Governor of Kano, REA Managing Director and other event speakers. The speeches incorporated the Federal Government’s adherence to the Paris Agreement on Climate Change and state government’s collaboration with the federal government on development policies. They also highlighted the benefits of clean and reliable electricity to beneficiary universities and teaching hospitals, in addition to the role of the host university in sustaining the project.
Credo analysts also drafted the event press release that was disseminated to local, national and international media. The press release communicated the impact of the 7.1MW power plant to the quality of education, teaching, research and health services as well as the government’s commitment to providing clean, safe and reliable electricity.
Following the event, Credo Advisory assisted with the implementation of the social media plan by developing post event e-flyers that portrayed impact photos, testimonials and event highlights.
