Senegalese born international music star Aliaune Thiam widely known as Akon has recently made an announcement that he plans to launch a project which would provide electricity to 600 million Africans. ‎
Named Lightening Africa, the project is a Solar Energy activation academy situated in Mali's capital, Bamako. Making the announcement, Akon revealed that the project is focused on helping to teach African engineers and scientists the process of Solar Powered electricity generation.
One of the partners in the project Samba Baithily, further disclosed that: "We have the sun and innovative technologies to bring electricity to homes and communities. We now need to consolidate African expertise,"
This innovation has thrown the global community into a frenzy with many applauding the Convict music boss for his initiative. Perhaps it is high time Nigerian entertainers home and abroad also consider going into developmental projects which would be beneficial to the society that has made them.
