The mobile electricity solution which was recently launched in Abuja was commended by Babtunde Raji Fashola, the Federal Minister of Power, Works and Housing.
“MTN is addressing something close to my heart and portfolio. With this new and innovative technology, Nigerians can easily access affordable solar electricity to power their homes and businesses,” he said at the launch.
The Honorable Minister of Communications, Barr. Adebayo Shittu, also commended MTN Nigeria for its innovative solutions “MTN has always been at the vanguard of providing telecommunication services to Nigerians. With this new product launch and partnership with Lumos, they have positioned themselves as a critical enabler of social and economic welfare of Nigerians,”he said.
The duo have come together to combine the solar technology of Lumos and the easy payment process through MTN airtime to provide a seamless experience for millions of Nigerians looking for modern clean electricity.
How it Works
- Electricity is generated by home-size solar power systems installed in customers’ homes and\or businesses. It comes in a new type of solar panel and indoor unit that allows customers to purchase electricity as a service on demand using their MTN mobile phone.
- Upon deployment, the subscriber loads airtime onto the SIM (embedded on the system) to activate the platform and enjoys uninterrupted power supply.
- The service is provided on a lease-to-own basis and the cost is spread over a five-year term, payable in affordable instalments via mobile phones from MTN accounts. Customers receive a full product repair service during the lease period providing peace of mind and quality assurance.
Existing users include small businesses, residential users, small businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, community buildings among others.

ReplyDeleteVision less government and inept minister. Rather than tender his resignation he has turned to pet projects and business proposals from equally incompetent organizations.
ReplyDeleteShmeez!
Nonsense, this is a new way of milking money from Nigerians.
ReplyDeletexenophobic idiots, #200 per day that means #6000 per month, that rubbish will not carry pressing iron, ac or even boiler and you pay such hugh amount. instead of fashola to give nigerians bigger power plants that will supply uninterrupted power he is advertising a small solar box, rubbish
ReplyDeleteHonestly he's a minister of darkness biggest fool
DeleteThat thing is a toy.
DeleteTBC BONANZA! Am giving out 100tbc at 1k per TBC contact me on 09024360475 whatsapp or call
ReplyDeleteLike they are not going to charge an arm and a leg for it.
ReplyDeleteArrant nonsense, pure rubbish so this is another generator (I pass my neighbor)in disguise Abi? I weep for my country. Whatever that's is rejected out there is being introduced in Nigeria. What if you (the so called leader) work towards making uninterrupted power available in the whole country? Is it too much to be asked of Nigeria leaders? Water, light and good health care? Now tell me how the people in rural areas, and some who don't even have a phone will benefit from this nonsense and on top of it paying two hundred naira everyday. You have the courage to publicize it and expect applauds. A whole lot of small small countries with absolutely nothing in it, basically feeding on tourism money, make basic necessity of life available for all their citizens. Nigerians with all thier natural endowment are suffering courtesy of....... let me not call anyone name. I pray the Lord Almighty for the sake of innocent citizens there will come to our rescure.

ReplyDeleteFashola the flat in block u built in igando lagos for civil servant and masses for outrageous money are still there. U are just clueless man!
ReplyDeleteIt's a big shame, Mr Fashola display of incompetency. Electricity suppose to be for the masses not private sectors, how do you expect someone earning 18k monthly to afford 200 daily? It's rubbish
ReplyDeleteThe govt and ministers will give these foreign businesses audience and create favorable business concessions for them but will frustrate Nigerian owned businesses till they fold up. Imbeciles !
ReplyDeleteWhen you put right pen into wrong hole, this is what u get. Imagine lawyers doing the work of an Engr,in the country whom are blessed with human resources this is what results look like.... Compensation political party
ReplyDeleteShameless minister, dispensing solar energy again. What is going with the Nigetia electricity supply. What is the capacity? There are many solar generators complete sets around the world that are not expensive and could be bought just for once for almost a life time.
ReplyDeleteThat is a toy because it cannot power iron, pumping machine, AC or refrigerators.
