The Nigerian Kaduna state government announces campaign to ban the sale of high energy consuming bulbs and initiate biomass projects to enhance energy efficiency.
He told the media that a wide campaign across the state is planned to commence next year, which would require electricity consumers in the region to switch to using energy saving bulbs before the ban is effective.
“We have already started moving from high-energy consuming bulbs to energy saving bulbs in ministries departments and agencies,” Abdullahi said.
According to the Commissioner, this move is expected to save N360 million ($109 million), which he said would represent 30% of the amount spent on electricity bills and fueling of generators annually by electricity consumers in the state.
Abdullahi revealed to the media that the programme of replacing high energy consuming bulbs was an idea proposed by the general manager at Kaduna Power Supply Company, Dr Abdulkarim Mayere, who came third in the “My Great Kaduna Competition” organised by the state government in 2015.
He said that the competition was organised to source for ideas from members of the public on how to move the state forward and make Kaduna great again.
Do you think it is high time for Tanzania to do the same?
