CESEL already has a portfolio of projects consisting of 25 Surveyed sites with load demand and all other feasibility study carried out with the grant from the United States Trade and Development Agency (USTDA). Upon completion, these projects will deliver about 4MW of electricity translating into about 9,000 new connections consisting of households and SMEs in the 25 communities. These projects will benefit from available Subsidy regimes which would de-risk the projects in order to ensure that we are able to provide power to the communities at an affordable rate.

Education in Nigeria is bedevilled with myriad’s of problems. These includes; poor funding and thus poor educational infrastructures, inadequate classrooms, teaching aids (projectors, Computers, Laboratories and libraries), paucity of quality teachers and poor / polluted learning environment. The public schools in Nigeria have virtually become an abandoned sector without meaningful funding from Government to support payment of qualified and motivated teachers; dilapidated infrastructure and obsolete teaching curriculum. For meaningful development to take place in the educational sector; the government need to re-address the issue of funding. However, that appears to be out of the focus of the elites in the country who do not care about the education of the children from poor background. This is because their own children or wards are either in private schools or studying outside of the shores of Nigeria.

Private educational investors have come into the scene which has helped to create a divide between the rich and the poor. The private educational providers operate strictly on profit and, as a result, children of the poor do not stand a chance of getting into the private schools. However, there are many school with agenda to reduce the gap between the rich and poor by fostering social inclusion in Nigeria thereby reducing inequality. Unfortunately, the cost of energy is making many of the private educational institution to suffer from weight of the burden of the exorbitant cost of energy. Our ESP is put together to assist private school with the support to move from unsustainable diesel generation regime to embrace renewable energy. We also have access to funding which the school can borrow for this project.
