Schneider Electric Foundation has delivered specialized training equipment to Federal University of Technology Owerri in Imo State, advancing technical education for engineering students through hands-on instruction aligned with international energy sector standards. The donation features customized teaching benches focused on residential electrical systems and commercial motor applications, part of a West African initiative that has already exceeded one million trainees by 2025.
Electrical Engineering Department head Matthew Olubiwe noted the equipment strengthens connections between academic instruction and workplace requirements. Foundation representative Funmilayo Olakitan stated the partnership prepares graduates for both domestic opportunities and international markets by exposing students to contemporary energy technologies while extending the program's reach beyond Lagos into eastern Nigeria.
