The Managing Partner, Global Head of Business at Triston solar said in a recent interview with the press that the Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, is working to make solar energy accessible to no fewer than two million households in the state.
He stated that solar energy would revolutionize the economy of Oyo State in particular and Nigeria in general.
He added that the governor had indicated commitment to industrial, economic and social development in the state through solar energy revolution.
He explained that the governor had already set up a government team to liaise with Triton Solar and SV-NED to actualise the target.
Sandilya said, “Solar energy will boost industrial revolution. Out of my 48 years of experience, I have visited various countries, met various governors and ministers, Makinde is the first one who has actually, within the first 45 minutes of conversation, shown great commitment.
He has put a two-member team comprising the chairman of the Renewable Energy Power and his executive secretary to work with us, review our materials and they are looking at the demos and impact reports.
“The governor is thinking in a big way, not just few hundred or few thousands units of houses; he is looking at millions of units at the state-wide. He is thinking about two to five million homes.”
