Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

In a move that will illuminate the lives of future female engineers, the Association of Professional Women Engineers of Nigeria (APWEN), Lagos Chapter, donated a solar power system to the female engineering student hostel at the Lagos State University (LASU) Epe campus.

This initiative, driven by APWEN’s commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), addresses the longstanding challenge of erratic electricity supply on campus. The donation includes a 1.5KVA solar system, a 1.5hp solar pump, and five solar street lights.

Transforming the Learning Environment

Atinuke Owolabi, the Chair of APWEN Lagos Chapter, highlighted the importance of this project. “The constant blackouts have created a difficult situation for the students,” she said. “We believe that reliable access to electricity is essential for a conducive learning environment. This solar system will allow students to study uninterrupted, charge their devices, and focus on their academic pursuits.”

The impact extends beyond lighting. The solar pump will provide the hostel with access to clean water, a vital resource often compromised by unreliable electricity.

Building the Next Generation of Engineers

APWEN’s vision goes beyond immediate solutions. The association plans to train female engineering students on solar power generation, installation, and maintenance. This not only equips them with practical skills but also promotes the use of renewable energy on campus, reducing the university’s environmental footprint.

Collaboration for a Brighter Future

APWEN is committed to empowering female engineering students across the state. Owolabi emphasized this, stating, “We will continue to address the challenges faced by female engineering students and advocate for their success.”

The Lagos State government is also taking action. Owolabi revealed discussions with the Lagos State Commissioner for Energy and Mineral Resources regarding the possibility of a mini-grid for the university.

A Call to Action

This initiative by APWEN serves as a beacon of hope, not just for the students at LASU but for the future of female engineers in Nigeria. Professor Elkanah Oyetunji, Head of Campus at LASU Epe, echoed this sentiment, calling on other organizations to emulate APWEN.

The success of this project demonstrates the power of collaboration. With continued support from NGOs, corporations, and individuals, the future of engineering education in Nigeria can be bright, powered not just by solar energy, but by the potential of its future female leaders.
