TETFund has announced moves to launch a targeted initiative known as the Special Intervention to boost alternative energy solutions for tertiary institutions in the country. Chairman, Board of Trustees of TETFund, Aminu Masari, disclosed this while inaugurating the Steering Committee for Alternative Energy solution initiative to tertiary institutions.
Masari emphasised that the initiative aligns with TETFund’s mission to bolster government’s efforts in providing a reliable power supply to tertiary institutions nationwide and ensuring a conducive learning environment that propels academic excellence.
He underscored the vital role of consistent power supply in facilitating effective learning and research, noting that the essential component has been sorely lacking in many of the country’s tertiary institutions.
According to him, “We all know the combination of many factors, including increase in tariff, which has become unbearable to these institutions”.
The committee, which has a member of TETFund Board of Trustees, Sunday Adepoju, as Chairman, was given two months to summit its preliminary report. The panel is also expected to be part of the implementation team.
