Overview
The United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) says it has, in collaboration with the European Union (EU), started a Small Hydro-Power (SHP) initiative aimed at boosting Nigeria’s agricultural sector.
Mr Reuben Bamidele, UNIDO National Programme Coordinator, announced this during a two-day workshop on SHPs for agro-industry use in Nigeria on Tuesday in Abuja.
According to him, the initiative is titled: “Promoting Small Hydropower Development and Circular Economy Approaches in Nigeria”.
He said that, with funding from the EU, UNIDO was implementing the project with the aim of scaling food value chains to promote food security.
Bamidele further explained that the initiative comprised two components as sub-projects.
He named the first one as the Small Hydro Power Development for Agro-Industry Use in Nigeria (SHP-DAIN).
The second one, he said, is called Advancing Nigeria’s Green and Just Transition to Net Zero through Circular Economy Practices.
