Mission
Ø Set up an Organizing Committee to oversee the Light-up
Nigeria Program and in collaboration with private partners,
extend electricity to the rural areas and Light-up Rural Nigeria by
means of Alternative Energy: Solar, Wind, Hydros, Biomass, etc.,
to satisfy the basic need of rural dwellers and reap the benefits of
electricity in the socio-economic development of Nigeria
Ø Install non-grid decentralized mini solar or wind power generation
plants to provide energy efficient lighting and power needs of few
hundred kilowatts(less than 1MW) to light up pilot homes/streets
of communities in select LGAs of the Federation in the short term
(6 months) with a goal of lighting up most communities in 232
LGAs, about 30% of the 774 LGAs, by December of 2014,
depending on the availability of funding.

Why Light up Rural Nigeria by means of Alternative Energy
And Consider Renewable Energy As A Supplement
To Power Generation In Nigeria?
1) Complements President’s Power Sector Reforms
2) In line with Global Drive for Renewable Energy/ Green
Technology
3) Major Energy Companies Worldwide Are Adopting Solar
or Wind Power Generation As Alternative Energy
Technology

NIGERIA
Complements President’s Power Sector Reforms:
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

Global Drive for Renewable Energy/ Green Technology:
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

LIGHT UP NIGERIA MARKET NEED AND MARKET SIZE:
Ø Light up Nigeria program can address a large potential
power/electricity market need of tens of trillion Naira in Nigeria
Ø It can be an attractive investment to foreign investors –
governments, institutions, system integrators, and companies
with large-scale rapid and stable power requirements
Ø Potential sales revenue from the establishment of the program
can reach more than 200 billion Naira within three years of its
establishment
Ø Feasibility of the program can be fully and rapidly demonstrated,
given the abundance of sun or reasonable wind speed in Nigeria,
and availability of commercial-Off-the-shelf (COTS) LED energy
efficient lighting systems, the commercial provision of solar or wind
powered lighting systems can commence immediately, within a
18
month of its establishment

CAPITALIZATION STRATEGY:
Ø Capitalization invested in the Light-up Nigeria program will be
utilized to:
Ø Establish the Light-up Nigeria program in 232 (about 30%
of 774) LGAs assumed to have no grid connections
Ø Award contracts to Private Partners to Light-up Nigeria
Ø Monitor Light-up Projects, Facilities and Equipment
Ø Acquire Personnel in each of the selected LGAs
Ø Assist in training locals in the design, development,
optimization and integration of wind turbines or solar arrays
for targeted communities
Ø operate the day-to-day running of the entire Light-up
Nigeria Program

CONCLUSION:
With global rush to reduce oil consumption
worldwide, establishment of the Light-up Nigeria
Program is a step in the right direction
It will offer an enormous potential for future
exportation of electricity from alternative/renewable
energy to other neighboring African countries
Lighting up the rural areas of Nigeria will be of
immense benefit to the country, socially,
economically and politically
LIGHT-UP NIGERIA Program will impact the
nation’s power supply bottom line
