A company called EnergyPro, working with a Polish foundation, just taught a bunch of people in Ibadan how to install solar panels and build power banks. Their co-founder, Akinmolayan Peter, said this stuff is about solving problems and helping people get by, arguing that reliable power is the only way Nigeria's economy stops being stuck. He opened a new office there and told everyone that solar is the future for the country.
People at the event, like a former Oyo State commissioner named Raphael Afonja and a guy named Abiodun Adeyemi, kept hammering the same point. They said no place gets anywhere without steady electricity. The folks who got trained agreed, mentioning that constant blackouts are a huge issue for homes and businesses alike.
The company's whole angle is pushing solar and other renewable tech to make money and improve life. They see this training as a way to spread those skills.
