In an innovative initiative aimed at addressing the issue of rising unemployment in the country, a Nigerian firm has introduced a solar-powered kiosk that could help tackle poverty and unemployment in the country.

With the new venture named ‘Elite Solar Kiosk’, the firm hinted that it would provide valuable job opportunities and also embrace sustainability by harnessing solar energy.

The Group Managing Director of Elite Logistics and Development Services Limited, Mr. David Adesanya, told journalists yesterday that: “Elite Smart Kiosk is efficiently reliable, powered by solar, aesthetically designed with low maintenance costs, and supports direct employment and empowerment opportunities for young Nigerians.

“It will provide solutions to political office holders, NGOs, philanthropists, humanitarian organisations, federal, state, and local governments, as well as notable personalities across Nigeria and Africa, as it seeks means to revolutionise empowerment.”

According to him, “In the face of soaring unemployment rates and the relentless challenges of an unforgiving economic landscape in West Africa, Nigeria finds itself grappling with the same socio-economic woes exacerbated by the recent removal of subsidies.”

Adesanya opined that as the cost of living continues its relentless ascent, and inflation wreaks havoc on individuals, families, and businesses, “it becomes evident that relying on a single source of income is no longer tenable.”

He further added that amid the turmoil, however, “some visionary individuals have managed to navigate the tumultuous seas of economic hardship, not only surviving but thriving.

 “They are the ones overseeing capital projects, acquiring real estate, building opulent mansions, and indulging in luxurious vacations across the globe.

“They are the embodiment of total economic liberation and financial independence, attributes many aspire to attain in their quest for a life free from financial hardship.

“Alarming statistics from reputable organisations such as the National Bureau of Statistics, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and others only serve to underscore the bleak economic outlook. Yet, amid this grim forecast, innovative thinkers have risen to the occasion. Such beacon of hope is Elite Logistics and Development Services Limited, a leading solar renewable energy and power company in Nigeria.”

Adesanya added: “The potential applications for Elite Solar Smart Kiosk are diverse, ranging from POS banking services and mobile healthcare dispensary units to exhibition stands, unisex salons, convenience stores, display retail outlets, ICT booths, security centres, multimedia centres, and more.”
