In a landmark stride toward sustainable education, Senator Sharafadeen Alli (APC-Oyo South) has powered the Federal Science and Technical College (FSTC), Igangan, with high-capacity solar inverters and panels.
This is contained in a statement issued by his media office and made available to newsmen on Friday.
The project, executed by Casbern Global Services Limited, guarantees uninterrupted electricity supply to classrooms, workshops, and laboratories, revolutionising teaching, learning as well as innovation at the institution.
Asigangan of Igangan, Oba Rafiu Ariwoola, lauded the senator’s efforts, describing the solar installation as laudable, enormous, and a blessing to both the school and the Igangan community.
The monarch said Senator Alli had consistently proven himself as a promise keeper, noting that this project, done in his honour, would be remembered as a landmark gift.
He added that the entire Igangan community, including parents and stakeholders, would send a formal letter of appreciation to the senator for his transformative gesture.
Mr. Ademola Adegoke, Chairman of FSTC PTA, said they had never experienced such support from any representative like Senator Alli, who kept his promise to deliver the project.
He recalled that three weeks ago, they contacted Senator Alli again, and he promptly linked him with the contractor, who commenced and completed the solar project within a week.
Adegoke described the project as a great development for the school and community. He appreciated the senator, praying God to bless him and grant his heart’s desires.
The Principal of FSTC Igangan, Mr. Kehinde Onatayo, also applauded the senator, describing the intervention as massive, impressive and one that would significantly transform the academic environment.
Onatayo said the school had suffered for years from unstable electricity, which limited innovation in laboratories, ICT centres, and workshops where constant power supply is crucial.
He assured that the school would make judicious use of the solar project, ensuring that students and staff maximised its benefits to enhance technical and science-based education.
Senator Alli, representing Oyo South, described the intervention as part of his commitment to advancing functional education, bridging traditional learning gaps, and preparing youths for the 21st-century knowledge-driven economy.
He reaffirmed his belief that functional education powered by technology was key to sustainable development, self-reliance and youth empowerment in Nigeria.
He stressed that by embracing renewable energy, schools could cut costs, protect the environment, and inspire innovation that drives long-term national progress.
Alli pledged to continue initiating people-centered projects that directly improve lives, stressing that his commitment to quality education and green energy adoption remained unwavering.
