The Kaduna State Government and the Rural Electrification Agency (REA) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate access to renewable energy across unserved and underserved communities in the state.
The agreement was formalized during the Renewable Energy Roundtable held in Kaduna, organized by the REA in collaboration with the Kaduna State Government, under the theme “From Policy to Impact: Sustaining the New Kaduna State Electricity Market for Access, Investment and Industrial Growth.”
Governor Uba Sani, who presided over the event, said the roundtable was convened to drive policy implementation, attract investment, and strengthen Kaduna’s emerging electricity market.
He reaffirmed the state’s commitment to building a transparent, investor-friendly environment that supports off-grid innovation and industrial energy frameworks for sustainable growth.
The Governor commended the Managing Director of the REA, Abba Abubakar Aliyu, for what he described as incisive and data-driven contributions, noting that the agency’s partnership with Kaduna reflects growing confidence in the state’s governance and economic direction.
Governor Sani added that Kaduna, endowed with solar, biomass, and hydro resources, is positioned to become a national model for renewable energy, powering industries and improving livelihoods.
The event brought together key stakeholders from government, development institutions, and the private sector to discuss investment opportunities and sustainable strategies to expand clean energy access.
