Complements President’s Power Sector Reforms:
LIGHT UP NIGERIA
Ø Though electricity is a necessity for rural dwellers, it is almost impossible to extend the grid to all rural areas of the nation. This leaves a majority of Nigerians who live in the rural areas without access to electricity Ø Providing access to electricity through alternative energy means is a technology of necessity for Nigeria Ø Fortunately, Nigeria is endowed with abundant natural resources, like the sun, wind, hydros, etc.
Ø As an alternative energy, solar and wind power generation will be a practical alternative to supplementing electricity supply in Nigeria

Complements President’s Power Sector Reforms (cont.): Ø Solar and/or wind powered electricity will be cost-‐effecRve in areas
where electricity can not be supplied, especially in the rural, riverine and areas remote to current grid/energy sources such as water falls
Ø Electrifying Nigeria will be a source of economic and social development in Nigeria that will improve ciRzens quality of life, and bring about developments akin to telecommunicaRons
Ø It will curb urban migraRon, create full employment opportuniRes and reduce crime, which will translate into providing a conducive poliRcal environment in our naRon’s polity

LIGHT UP NIGERIA
Ø It will spur SMEs that use electricity for longer hours of operation/productivity, increase agriculture productivity - modern machinery/farming methods that use electricity, increase rural dwellers’ income/productivity, improve access to information by rural dwellers: TVs, Cell phones, internets, etc., improve educational achievements/enlightenment , promote extended learning hours and improve household activities and social gathering/interactions after dark
Ø Electricity generation by alternative/renewable energy reduces environmental pollution, and fits into European Union (EU) member states framework for co-operation with Nigeria Ø It is in-line with Nigerian Economic and Power Sector Reform Program (EPSERP)
12 “”
Complements President’s Power Sector Reforms (cont.): Ø It provides an opportunity for technology transfer from foreign companies that would collaborate with FMoP on the Light up Nigeria program
Ø Expanding access to electricity to the remote and rural areas of Nigeria is essenRal in fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals
Ø Establishment of the “Light Up Nigeria” Program, will promote world-‐class researches in universiRes, and create opportuniRes for researches in all renewable energies like biomass, wind and hydrogen fuel, etc.
LIGHT UP NIGERIA
Ø Governments worldwide implementing legislations to encourage alternative energy production:- Governments across the globe are drivers for the Solar and Wind Industries
Ø Goal of Europe/United States is to reduce oil consumption by more than 50% in the next 10 years
Ø When this happens, our limited oil and natural gas will be less desirable
Ø From 2010, European Union has made known its desires to get 22% of its energy from clean sources
Ø China's Renewable Energy Law aims at raising the total percentage of renewable energy to 10% by 2020
Ø In the United States, $18B of 2008 Federal Tax Incentive and $60B 2009 Stimuli for clean energy economy
Ø Create Clean Energy Economy and Jobs

LIGHT UP NIGERIA STRATEGY: Ø Establish LIGHT UP NIGERIA Program and identify pilot target communities, within about 30% of the 774 LGAs (232 LGAs), currently assumed to have no access to grid-connected electricity, to directly apply micro-off grid solar or wind powered electricity generation to light up homes/streets of communities
Ø For each targeted community, set up a local organizing committee comprising of the LGA Chairman, local councilor, Chief, and two members chosen from the community of interest by the locals
Ø Plan modifications and deliverable power products; energy efficient lighting systems to light up homes, streets, and community centers in remote communities with no access to power resources
Ø For each targeted community, provide solar or wind powered energy efficient lighting systems to the consumer needs, accompanied by functional specifications and approximate cost per kilowatt of solar power provided
