The sun.

The driving force of all life forms on Earth.
Through rain, snow, and clouds the sun will always rise and shine bringing along power.
This power not only sustains life but through human advancements one can now utilize this power to light up an entire city.

In an article titled, “Solar Mini-Grids Give Nigeria a Power Boost” by Amy Yee, it highlights how solar panels are changing the way one lives out their day to day lives.
By cutting electrical cost in half to just 22,000 naira, which is around $55 usd, the people of Lagos, a city in Nigeria are now able to have non-stop  electricity 24 hours a day.

Amy Lee further mentions how only 6 mini grids have the power to light up five different Nigerian cities, providing solar electricity to over 15,000 people.
This demand for electricity is expected to grow in the upcoming years along with Nigeria’s growing population.
It will drastically improve Nigerians quality of life, and hopefully will serve as a trendsetter for other countries around the world to follow.
