Hanatu Ahmadu is a direct sales agent making income from the sale of solar-powered products. Ahmadu is advocating for the adoption of solar-powered products at Nipost Plaze, Gombe town, Gombe State, Nigeria. The Rural Resilience Activity partnered with Solar Sister to provide an alternative source of power to rural communities in Nigeria Northeast, who are off the national grid due to the erratic power supply and high cost of electricity. The generation of electricity from solar panels does not generate any greenhouse gasses, and thus has the potential to mitigate the adverse environmental impacts of utilizing a carbon-generating, fossil fuel-powered electricity generator.
