The launch, held on September 9, drew a wide array of stakeholders including community leaders, politicians, captains of industry, and residents, underscoring the importance of sustainable energy solutions in one of Anambra State’s riverine and agrarian regions.
Speaking at the event, Hon.

Several stakeholders present at the event praised the local government for its proactive approach, emphasizing that the project will positively impact ordinary citizens’ lives and advance the adoption of renewable energy in the region.
The distribution of these solar light units represents one of the most ambitious actions undertaken by the Anambra West council administration to promote sustainable energy and foster community development.
