Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Diesel to Solar: How Nigerian School is Cutting its Energy Costs
Q: What practical steps would you recommend to other schools considering electrification?
Engage experienced professionals, plan in phases, secure funding through banks and grants, and work with reliable partners for sourcing and maintenance to avoid wasted investment.
From Diesel to Solar: How Nigerian School is Cutting its Energy Costs
Q: How has solar power generation affected electricity bills and grid dependence?
Solar generation, combined with on-site storage, has allowed the primary and preschool sections to go off-grid, eliminating diesel use and reducing exposure to unreliable national grids, which significantly cuts costs and noise.
From Diesel to Solar: How Nigerian School is Cutting its Energy Costs
Q: What motivated Abba Heart Schools to replace gasoline and diesel vehicles with electric ones for student transportation?
The motivation sprang from persistent power problems, desire for clean energy, and the goal to stabilize transport costs and reduce maintenance by shifting to electric buses in a phased approach.
Building Nigeria's EV Industry to Cut Fuel Bills and Create Jobs
Q: How critical is Chinese technology and supply chain to Nigeria's EV assembly, and what risks come with that dependence?
Chinese technology is essential for now, but the strategy is to access the ecosystem while building local capability and pushing for value-added manufacturing to reduce over-reliance over time.
Building Nigeria's EV Industry to Cut Fuel Bills and Create Jobs
Q: Beyond Nigeria, which markets look promising for Saglev's ecosystem, and how do you approach cross-border expansion?
West Africa and Francophone countries like Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Benin, and Togo are promising; Saglev plans micro-factories in multiple countries to reduce import costs and align with regional trade dynamics.
