@labodday @BashirElRufai Are Nigerians lecturers now well-paid ? “So the ‘solution’ to poor funding is to push the burden to students? Increase fees, then give them loans to survive it? That is recycling poverty and not a reform. The government didn’t fix education, it just commercialized it.

My visit to the On-going Reconstruction and Upgrading of Internal Roads at ABU Zaria, by the Gov of Kaduna State, H.E @ubasanius 2: I was inspecting the project when a group of students spotted me that “is that Mr. Woye on X (Twitter) or not”. -(a): My brother @AA_Hotoro over heard them and told them, Yes, he is. 3: fortunately for me, they are studying Mechanical Engineering and so they can also relate with the road construction. It was fun hanging out with them. 4: Also, I met a Vet Medicine student who was happy with the road construction. 5: of course, engineers on site explained the project breakdown to me. 6: It is good to be back in Samaru once again. @AbawizzyW30350 @AbasiUdoid48502 @aweowoblow @labodday @iamAhmadOlolu @Better_Kaduna @abuzaria4all @ABU_CM_ @ABU_Campus @SaniAminuMuham4 @sultanbellojr @realsultanoa @KADRA_kdsg @shediyel @almubarak_feeh @mni_JJ @thezarmeen @santana_aob @Bulamaaaa @OzoMusty @_baffa__ @Mainasaraa_ @ckdanzaki @SAbdulateef @isah_muaaz @MMurtadoishola @GS_ARDO @IkodorSamir @ImamSafone @_chiefagbabiaka @AShammeh @Remklem @ui_shehu @shamsudden_vice @aoidowu1309 @Kareem_O_Y @shehu_bobboi @Rehacma168414 @UbaSaniMedia_ @deprof_creation @DepGovKaduna @BashirSZuntu @HassanPeppe @HassanaPawa @HassanJigawa @Abba_Borko @b_jarmari02

For a long time, we have had to push through barriers that made delivering electricity to underserved communities challenging. Projects delayed. Investments slowed. Opportunities to connect Nigerians left waiting, not because the solutions didn’t exist, but because the existing system needs to be reformed, enhanced or optimized. That is why this moment means so much to me personally and the entire renewable ecosystem. Since 2024, we have engaged consistently and constructively with the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), making detailed submissions based on the realities we face in delivering projects across the country. I am pleased to see that many of those inputs are now reflected in the final Mini-Grid Regulations 2026 (NERC–R–001–2026) released by the Commission yesterday. This is a great win for Nigerian renewable energy players. These new regulations represent the most important update to Nigeria’s mini-grid framework in years. More importantly, they address real, structural challenges that have slowed down large scale project delivery. For us at @TheREANigeria, and for developers working under programmes like DARES, NEP, IMAS, AMP, REF and the Energizing Education Programme, the impact is clear. One of the most transformative changes is the increase in capacity thresholds from 1MW under the previous regulation to 5MW for isolated mini-grids and 10MW for interconnected mini-grids. This is a fundamental unlock. It allows us to design systems that truly meet community demand without being pushed into complex, utility-scale regulatory regimes. We also now have a single permit that covers generation, distribution, and supply, removing the burden of dual licensing that previously delayed projects and increased costs. Additionally, the regulation provided clearer rules around DisCo engagement, with enforceable timelines and safeguards against unnecessary delays, ensuring that viable projects are not stalled. We have also addressed one of the biggest bottlenecks for solar deployment, with a more practical environmental compliance pathway that reflects the realities of PV and battery systems. And importantly, energization timelines are now defined, closing a critical gap that affected project commissioning. These are not just policy updates. They are structural changes that will accelerate deployment, improve investor confidence, and ultimately expand access to reliable electricity for millions of Nigerians. This is what progress looks like when policy aligns with implementation, and when collaboration delivers results. The work continues. I would like to personally thank Dr. Musiliu Olalekan Oseni and the team at Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission for their openness to collaboration and their commitment to strengthening the sector. They have written their names in gold. Ultimately, Nigeria’s energy future will not be shaped by scarcity thinking. It will be shaped by scale, innovation, partnership and by the courage to build a power system that matches the ambition of our people. #MiniGrids #EnergyAccess #PowerSectorReform #CleanEnergyNigeria #DARES #NEP #EnergizingEducation #RenewableEnergy #PoweringNigeria #abbaaliyu
