President Bola Tinubu has disclosed that his administration will soon start installing solar panels in the institutions to save public higher institutions in the country from the heavy burden of high power tariffs usually slammed on them by power distribution companies.
He made this known on Thursday during the 55th convocation ceremony of the University of Lagos, UNILAG, Akoka, Yaba.
Tinubu, who was represented by the Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa, promised that his administration would not take anything concerning education with levity.
Recall that higher institutions across the country, including UNILAG, have been calling for help regarding high power tariffs. UNILAG pays an average of N350 million monthly as an electricity tariff.
