LAGOS, Nigeria – JMG Limited commissions a 24-hour solar electricity system at the Ketu Primary Healthcare Centre (PHC) in Lagos, marking a major boost for community healthcare delivery and energy resilience.
The company installs an advanced hybrid system comprising an integrated 10-kilowatt inverter, 18 N-Type solar panels, and a 20.48 KWH lithium battery, ensuring uninterrupted power for emergency care, cold-chain storage, maternity services and laboratory diagnostics.
Speaking at the commissioning, JMG Group General Manager, Mr Rabi Jammal, emphasises the life-saving value of stable electricity in public health. “Reliable power is a right, not a privilege,” he says. “This installation ensures that critical services do not stop because of sudden outages.”
He adds that energy reliability supports safe childbirth, continuous vaccine refrigeration and rapid laboratory response. “Through this project — and what we delivered last year in Bariga — we reaffirm our commitment to a greener and more sustainable future,” he notes.
The President of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) and JMG Executive Director, Mr Francis Meshioye, says the intervention aligns with the company’s long-term social investment goals. “Community healthcare sits at the heart of our corporate responsibility,” he explains. “We are building on the success of our Bariga PHC solar project in 2024.”
Meshioye says JMG plans to support additional local health facilities with clean energy solutions to strengthen frontline care and reduce dependence on diesel generators.
Community stakeholders at the event describe the project as transformative, noting that power outages frequently disrupted essential services before the solar upgrade.
Health officials say the new system will reduce operational costs, improve night-time service delivery and enhance patient outcomes across densely populated Ketu and neighbouring communities.
