SMEDAN to train Nigerians on renewable energy, inverter installations

The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN), in conjunction with Excel Plus Integration Services Limited, is organising a three-day practical training on the use of solar products.

According to the State Coordinator of SMEDAN, Adeyinka Fisher, the theme of the seminar scheduled to hold between Wednesday, February 17, to Friday, February 19, is “3-Day Practical Training and Business Approach”.

He said that it would be an opportunity for Nigerians to beat current economic hardship by learning how to make extra income.

Speaking further, he said that the training fee is N20,000 noting that participants would be trained on solar panel and inverter installations among other things.

He said that solar energy has become a kind of mystery to a lot of people but on that day, they would not only see how it works, but they would also have the opportunity to do it by themselves.

On the importance of the seminar, Fisher said that all over the world, renewable energy has become the in-thing, adding that getting Nigerians acquainted with the technology would go a long way in alleviating them from the pain they go through with high cost of electricity.

He also said that having extra source of income is the only way one can survive the present hard-biting economy, since salary is no longer enough.

According to him, the venue of the seminar is SMEDAN office located at Fatai Atere Way, Matori, Mushin, Lagos.

“People have been talking about solar panel and inverter installation as if they are rocket science. So, on that day, we are going to train them on how to do it. Apart from that we would also teach them how to make money.

“The only way to survive this economy is to have one or two things by the side that would be complementing the main economy. So, we are telling Nigerians to take advantage of this opportunity to attend,” he explained.
