The Federal Government says it has arranged a review meeting for a proposed $1bn investment in solar power.
The project, which is expected to generate 10,000MW, has been stalled since 2016.
The government said it is hoping to see the results of the planned investment by 2023.
This information was diwassed by the Special Adviser to President on Infrastructure, Ahmad Zakari, via his Twitter handle.
According to him, the projects are expected to be a game-changer in Nigerian electricity production.
Zakari said, “The Ministry of Finance and Power has structured a meeting for $1bn investment for 1000MW of solar stalled since 2016 and we expect some on the grid by 2023.
“The projects range from 50MW to 100MW across Sokoto, Kano, Jigawa, Nasarawa, Abuja, Bauchi, some of these states will be joining the league of states with on-grid power plants for the first time. These 1GW of solar projects will be a game-changer and a harbinger for more projects.”
