Tinubu Inaugurates Renewable Energy College and Green Hydrogen Plant in Kogi

President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated the Barefoot Renewable Energy College in Osara, Kogi State, alongside a Green Hydrogen Research and Demonstration Pilot Plant. Vice President Kashim Shettima represented the President at the event held at the Confluence University of Science and Technology. The college is designed to train technicians, installers, operators and maintenance professionals in renewable-energy technologies. Its facilities include smart classrooms, battery-energy laboratories, a mini-grid simulation centre and energy-efficiency laboratories. Tinubu said the institution would help close Nigeria’s renewable-energy skills gap and give graduates internationally recognised qualifications. Kogi State officials and federal representatives said the project could support job creation, research, innovation and wider access to cleaner energy.

The inauguration is a positive start, but the real measure will be whether the college and pilot plant remain active beyond the ceremony.

The programme should publish clear admission pathways, course details, and opportunities for nearby students to benefit from the new facilities.
