Solar for Primary Healthcare in Gamawa LGA, Bauchi


At Gamawa Local Government premises in Bauchi state – Dave Agbakoba (Solar Jooce CEO), and Senior Electrical Engineer, Hussaini Gidado Aliyu (M.Sc Electrical engineering Dhaka, Bangladesh) of the Bauchi Ministry of Rural Development

The 2nd phase of our pan-Nigeria solar mission (titled Energy Independence Nigeria) kicked off on October 1, 2010 to coincide with Nigeria's 50th independence celebration.

October 5, 2010, solar hanging lights (sponsored by Ada & Kojo Paintin of the United Kingdom) were set up at Primary Healthcare Centres in Gamawa L.G.A of Bauchi state.

Solar Jooce received remarkable cooperation from Bauchi state Ministry of Rural Development, with the Permanent Secretary ensuring we had a 4-wheel drive for the approximately 295km journey from Bauchi city to the remote city of Gamawa.

The efficiency in arranging logistic support was all the more impressive because my meeting with the Permanent Secretary, Alhaji Mohammed Garba Gamawa, occured just a day prior to departure from Bauchi city.

Pictures from the solar set-up in Gamawa will follow…
