The lady solar tech trainees were transported to Lagos on Friday, July 06, 2012 to take part in a training seminar conducted by Mrs. Yemi OWOLABI (Executive Director of Finance, Standard Chartered Bank, Nigeria).

The training session, delivered in Yoruba, was titled "Growing your new solar business".

The ladies received valuable strategy information on how to package, finance and market their products.

They were then taken back to the Cow Market at Iseyin (Oyo state) to get a practical feel of what they had been told about in the seminar (how to sell their products and if, indeed, there was a market for it). They were delighted to get a very positive response! Solar really is the way to go.
