SEAP To Deliver 5MW Energy To 774 Local Govts

The Federal Government has officially launched the Sustainable Energy Access Projects (SEAP) with the commissioning of a 30-megawatt power facility in Shagamu Local Government Area of Ogun State.

The initiative marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s pursuit of universal energy access and a clean energy transition.
The announcement was made on Tuesday by the Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology, Chief Uche Geoffrey Nnaji, who shared the development via his official handle on X (formerly Twitter).

The SEAP initiative is designed to deliver a minimum of five megawatts of decentralized clean energy to each of Nigeria’s 774 Local Government Areas, representing a major step toward bridging the country’s energy gap, especially in underserved and off-grid communities.

According to Minister Nnaji, SEAP is a strategic and transformative intervention that will accelerate Nigeria’s shift to cleaner and more sustainable energy sources.

He explained that the project will directly support critical sectors including agriculture, healthcare, transportation, and small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs), thereby catalyzing inclusive economic growth and improving the quality of life in rural and peri-urban areas.

The launch event also featured the signing of a tripartite Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the Association of Local Governments of Nigeria (ALGON), Data Analytics & Solutions International Ltd, and CCK Electric Power Technology Company.

This partnership will be pivotal in the nationwide rollout of SEAP and the deployment of energy solutions tailored to local needs.

The initiative includes the deployment of solar and gas-powered mini-grids to provide reliable off-grid electricity solutions, the conversion of 1,000 petrol-powered tricycles per LGA into electric tricycles to reduce urban transport emissions, and the distribution of affordable LPG/CNG cooking cylinders to at least 20,000 households per LGA.

These components are expected to mitigate environmental degradation, improve public health, and foster job creation.

Highlighting the broader significance of the project, Minister Nnaji noted that SEAP aligns with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda and supports Nigeria’s broader commitments to climate action and energy equity.

He described SEAP as a transformative solution to the nation’s longstanding energy challenge, with the potential to deliver innovation, inclusion, and sustainable impact at scale.

The Federal Government’s commitment to the project reflects a growing recognition of the urgent need to decentralize power generation and distribution, enhance energy access, and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

As implementation begins in Shagamu, stakeholders across the country are expected to collaborate to ensure the successful expansion of SEAP across all local government areas.
