The Federal Government has signalled the imminent take-off of a landmark one-megawatt solar electrification project at the newly established Federal University of Agriculture and Technology, Okeho, in Oyo State marking a major milestone in the institution’s infrastructure development.
The project, facilitated by the Rural Electrification Agency, is part of a broader national initiative to provide sustainable energy to 16 selected universities across Nigeri, as contained in a statement signed by the Personal Assistant to the Vice-Chancellor on Current Issues, Dr. Bolaji Olaomo, today.
FUNATO stands as a key beneficiary in the South-West zone, alongside Adeyemi University of Education and the Federal University of Health Sciences, Oyan, and on Friday, February 6, 2026, the university management, led by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Jacob Babayemi, held a high-level consultative meeting with an REA delegation and the Onjo-in-Council, the traditional advisory body of the host community, to begin project execution protocols.
