Mr commissioner said that the conversion from diesel powered to solar powered was in line with Gov. Soludo's campaign promise to achieve more with less.

He maintained that solar system is not only cost effective but also environment friendly to achieve the solution government's vision of clean, green and sustainable Anambra State.

He added that aside converting to solar system, new ones are being installed across the state and tasked the university community to take ownership of the street lights as well as other government utilities to prevent vandalisation.
