President ASHRAE Nigeria Chapter, Franklin Olatunji, stated, “we are trying to maintain green environment all over the world. We are decarbonise the environment so that it is beautiful and sustainable.”
He added the solar-powered borehole would prevent use of generating sets, which will reduce noise and carbon emission. Expressing her appreciation, Ikeja Zonal Coordinator for Ministry of Agriculture Dr. Enebeli Olajumoke said, “on behalf of the ministry, we say a big thank you for this project, we’ll like to have a replica of this in the Animal Market.”
