2027: ‘Solar panels will be installed on every Nigerian roof within 11 months of my presidency’ – SDP candidate Adebayo
The presidential candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Adewole Adebayo, has promised to install solar panels on the roofs of Nigerian homes within 11 months of assuming office if elected president in the 2027 general elections.
Adebayo made the promise on Tuesday during an interview on Arise Television’s Prime Time.
He criticised previous rural electrification programmes for relying heavily on costly 33kVA power lines instead of adopting decentralised solar energy solutions.
According to him, his administration would focus on expanding access to electricity through solar power and other decentralised energy systems.
The presidential candidate advised the Nigerian government to adopt rooftop solar panel manufacturing locally and train communities instead of depending on expensive grid electrification.
“Between 11 and 15 kW of solar power will be put on every roof within 11 months of my presidency.
“In 2001, the Obasanjo administration invited me, and I advised them to enter into an agreement with China or India, set up a factory to make solar panels, and train people to install them.
“Every Local Government Area has money that they steal every month to capitalise on this,” he said.
