Baobab+, a Pan-African group, has launched its Pay-As-You-Go solar power service in Nigeria. The company has deployed solutions over the past six years in Senegal, Cote d’Ivoire, Madagascar, Mali and the Republic of Congo. During the launch ceremony, CEO Baobab+ Nigeria, Kolawole Osinowo, stated, “This week, Baobab+ has launched our Solar Pay-as-you-go home systems in Alimosho Local government in Lagos and Sango-Ota in Ogun State. In the coming months, it will expand its reach across Nigeria to support the government’s effort in off-grid solar distribution. “I am very happy that Baobab+ is taking this next step, made possible by the incredible work done by our team. We started operations in 2021 with a deep focus on providing top-quality solar products leveraging the Baobab Group Microfinance channel, and now we are set to expand the opportunities with affordable access to these products through our Pay-As-You-Go financing option.”
