EEP Phase I
Access to constant power supply in educational institutions and healthcare facilities in Nigeria has been identified as a major challenge as well as a barrier to effective learning, institutional operations, student residency and access to quality healthcare.
Considering the role of arguably the most important sectors in driving socio-economic development in Nigeria (i.e. Education and Health), the Federal Ministry of Power through the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), resolved to embark on viable projects to ensure the availability of reliable, sustainable and affordable power to Federal Universities and University Teaching Hospitals across the country.
In view of the foregoing, the 'Energizing Education Programme' (EEP), an Initiative of the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN), was approved by His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2016, with an aim to provide reliable, affordable and sustainable power to thirty-seven (37) Federal Universities and seven (7) Teaching Hospitals within Nigeria.
The EEP Phase I will see to the implementation of this initiative in seven (7) Federal Universities and two (2) University Teaching Hospitals, across 5 geopolitical zones.
The EEP Phase I beneficiary institutions are as follows:
ABUBAKAR TAFAWA BALEWA UNIVERSITY &

UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURE,
