Firm Empowers 2000 Youths On Solar Onergy
As a way of reducing unemployment and promoting sustainable energy, Motosh Company Limited has revealed that over 2,000 individuals have been equipped with essential skills through the company’s solar energy training programme.
Speaking at the inaugural “Summit 1.0: Know More About Solar”, the Managing Director of Motosh industry, Mr. Quam Omotosho, emphasised the importance of educating potential solar energy investors on the fundamentals of solar systems, as more are still expected to be trained.
The event, Omotosho said, focused on raising awareness about solar technology and empowering youth, setting the stage for a series of educational initiatives.
He said: “As substandard solar products flood the Nigerian market, it is crucial for investors to have accurate knowledge to avoid falling victim to poor-quality products.
“Our goal is to expand our customer base by educating individuals about their specific energy needs, enabling them to make informed decisions’.
The summit highlighted the need to address challenges within the solar market, particularly the lack of consumer understanding.
Omotosho noted that by ensuring consumers know their exact energy requirements, the industry can minimise bad experiences caused by inappropriate product choices.
Reflecting on the impact of the training programme, he said many current solar engineers in the country are alumni of the initiative.
Partnering companies also retain top-performing trainees, creating employment opportunities for youth in the renewable energy sector.
Omotosho further urged the government to support solar companies, noting that such assistance need not be financial but could come in other forms to strengthen the industry.
The Human Resources Manager of the company, Miss Ejironke Alajiki, reiterated that the summit’s objective is to educate individuals interested in investing in solar energy and to raise public awareness of its benefits.
