UNILORIN TV appreciates management on provision of solar inverters

Committee members and staff of UNILORIN TV station have commended the University Management for providing the station with solar inverters, which will ensure smooth transmission of programmes.

This commendation was made last Tuesday (April 15, 2025) during the official handing over of the solar inverters.

The contractor, Engineer Sola Oyeyemi from NBP Technology, described the provision as a good initiative, especially in today’s Nigeria, where power has been a major problem. He said that the solar solution is easy to maintain, with zero percent maintenance required for the battery, except for dusting.

Oyeyemi advised end-users to understand the system’s limitations, avoid overusing it, and watch out for warning signs. He noted that having electricity solves 90% of problems and that the 24/7 lighting would increase coverage content and creativity. He appreciated the University Management for giving him the opportunity to contribute to the success of the TV station.

A representative of the UNILORIN TV Committee, Mr Banu Baba Manu, observed that the installation of the solar inverters would connect the station to the larger world. He advised end-users to acquire managerial skills to maintain the system effectively for it to serve its purpose. He also appreciated the University management for the provision, stating that it would project the University’s image and make the job easier.

A staff member of UNILORIN TV station, Mr Idris Kehinde Lukman, appreciated the University Management, under the leadership of Vice Chancellor, Prof. Wahab Olasupo Egbewole, SAN, for providing the solar inverters. He described it as a welcome development that would solve some of the station’s challenges, particularly during interviews, and enable smooth transmission of programmes day and night. He also appreciated the team members from the Works Department for their contribution. A Senior Maintenance Officer, from Physical Planning Unit, Engr. Olatunde Abdulah Ogundeji, thanked the management for its contribution and appreciated the contractor for his excellent work. He advised the staff members to utilise the system effectively.
