People in remote villages in Kaduna, north-western Nigeria, are celebrating a rare two years of uninterrupted electricity, reports Punch Newspapers.
The newspaper adds that two remote villages managed this by going off-grid, using solar power mini-grids.
"The villages were far from the reach of the national power grid," Punch explains.
So the Federal Ministry of Power, Works and Housing set up the renewable power project instead.
The customers pay for the electricity through their mobile phones.
