EEP Phase III

The Phase III of the Energizing Education Programme (EEP), funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) under the Nigeria Electrification Project (NEP), is currently under construction across 8 universities spanning Nigeria's 6 geopolitical zones.
This phase provides reliable electricity access to 148,361 students through uninterrupted power supply systems and installs 250 streetlights across campuses for enhanced safety. The program achieves significant environmental impact with 6.08 kilotons of annual CO2 savings by replacing diesel generators with cleaner energy alternatives.
The AfDB-supported NEP initiative emphasizes capacity building with 200 staff members receiving practical training in renewable energy systems, while 800 students gain hands-on experience through state-of-the-art training centers. Gender inclusion is prioritized with 160 female students receiving specialized training.
Phase III demonstrates the AfDB's partnership with Nigeria through the NEP in advancing renewable energy education across all geopolitical zones and accelerating the country's clean energy transition.
The EEP Phase III beneficiary institutions are as follows:
