ZEA Strengthens Strategic Collaboration with Energy Commission of Nigeria

The Zamfara Electrification Agency (ZEA), under the leadership of its Executive Secretary, Muzammil Muhammad, held a strategic engagement with the management of the Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN), led by the Director-General, Dr. Mustapha Abdullahi, at the Commission’s Corporate Headquarters in Abuja.

The meeting provided an avenue for the Agency to present its achievements over the past ten months and to deliberate on priority areas for institutional collaboration. Key discussions focused on capacity building and technical training, deployment of research-driven energy innovations, and accelerated expansion of renewable energy solutions across Zamfara State.

A major outcome of the engagement was ECN’s commitment to collaborate with the ZEA on the revival and potential capacity upgrade of the 200kW Solar–Diesel Hybrid Mini-Grid in Shinkafi Local Government Area, constructed in 2022/2023.

The Zamfara Electrification Agency expressed appreciation to the ECN leadership for the warm reception and reaffirmed commitment to partnership, describing the collaboration as critical to advancing sustainable energy access, supporting economic growth, and improving electricity supply across Zamfara State.
