The rector disclosed that after the training, the beneficiaries will each be supported with business startup package of N1m worth of solar products by Riccofortezza-Asteven Energy Limited and commended the company for being socially and environmentally responsible.

Somide encouraged other companies engaged by the Kwara State government to emulate Riccofortezza-Asteven Energy Limited in giving back to the State.

Aleroh commended the State governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, for his innovative approach in implementing renewable energy, particularly solar technology in the State.

Some of the trainees, Atolagbe Rachael and Ajibola Oluwaseun, in separate interviews, appreciated the Kwara Government and Riccofortezza-Asteven Energy Limited for initiating the programme which they said is empowering them to be employers of labour.
