Kwara Expands Solar Power to More Hospitals to Boost Healthcare Delivery

Date: 2026-03-10

The Kwara State Government has extended renewable energy infrastructure to more public hospitals as part of efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery and ensure uninterrupted power supply across the state.

This was disclosed in a statement issued on Monday by the management of the Kwara State Hospitals Management Board and sighted by The PUNCH in Ilorin, the state capital.

According to the statement, the initiative forms part of the government's commitment to promoting sustainable and climate-friendly healthcare systems whilst improving electricity supply in public health facilities.

It explained that several hospitals have now joined other health institutions already benefiting from renewable energy systems through the installation of solar inverter solutions.

"Under the intervention, six major hospitals received 30 KVA solar inverter systems to boost their power capacity and enhance service delivery," the statement read.

The hospitals include General Hospital Share, Specialist Hospital Jebba, General Hospital Erin-Ile, General Hospital Omu-Aran, Children's Specialist Hospital Ilorin, and the Essential Drugs Programme.

Similarly, seven other health facilities were equipped with 10 KVA solar inverter systems to strengthen electricity supply for routine and emergency medical services.

"These facilities are Cottage Hospital Iponrin, Cottage Hospital Alapa, General Hospital Agbamu, Cottage Hospital Ilemona, General Hospital Oro-Ago, Cottage Hospital Edidi, and Cottage Hospital Idofin Odo-Ashe," the statement noted.

The board attributed the expansion of renewable energy infrastructure to the commitment of Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to improving healthcare services and promoting environmentally sustainable initiatives across the state.

It noted that the governor's administration has continued to prioritise healthcare infrastructural upgrades, sustainability programmes, and improved access to quality medical services for residents.

"The management of the Kwara State Hospitals Management Board remains committed to laying a long-term foundation for a stronger healthcare system in the state through strategic planning, effective coordination, and continuous efforts to improve the operational efficiency of government hospitals," said Dr Abdulraheem Malik, Executive Secretary of the board.

"Our proactive deployment of renewable energy solutions in health facilities is helping to build a more resilient healthcare system whilst reducing dependence on fossil fuels and unstable electricity supply," he added.

The board explained that the installations would stabilise electricity supply, reduce reliance on fuel-powered generators, and guarantee uninterrupted power for critical units such as laboratories, maternity services, cold-chain storage, and emergency care departments, thereby improving the overall quality of healthcare delivery in the state.
