In a significant move to protect patient lives and improve healthcare delivery, JMG Limited has successfully installed a state-of-the-art solar power system at Ketu Primary Healthcare Centre in Lagos. The official commissioning took place on Wednesday, 12th November 2025, marking a crucial step toward eliminating the dangerous threat of power outages during critical medical procedures.
A Lifeline for Critical Healthcare Services
The donation addresses a critical challenge facing Nigerian healthcare facilities where sudden power cuts can jeopardize complex medical operations. Emergency procedures like Caesarean sections and life support systems will now continue uninterrupted thanks to the reliable solar energy solution. This transformation turns electricity from an occasional luxury into a constant, fundamental resource essential for preserving human health.
The commissioning ceremony attracted significant attention from key stakeholders, including representatives from the Lagos State Commissioners for Environment and Health, traditional leaders, and JMG's top management team. Among the distinguished guests were Dr. Hassan Sanuth, Director of Sanitation Services at Lagos State Ministry of Environment; Dr. Dayo Lajide, Permanent Secretary of Lagos State Health District II; and HRM Oba Dr. Isiaka Adio Oyero Balogun, the traditional ruler of Ketu Kosofe Land.
Technical Specifications and Impact
The newly installed solar power solution features impressive technical components designed for maximum reliability:
- 10-kilowatt hybrid inverter
- 18 N-Type solar panels
- High-capacity 20.48 KWH Lithium battery
This robust system guarantees the healthcare centre continuous access to clean energy, supporting vital services including:
- Emergency operations and surgical procedures
- Vaccine and immunization storage
- Maternity care and delivery services
- Laboratory diagnostics and testing
Medical staff can now focus entirely on patient care without the constant fear of sudden blackouts disrupting their life-saving work.
Corporate Responsibility and Environmental Benefits
During the commissioning, JMG Group General Manager Rabih Jammal emphasized the moral imperative behind the project, stating that reliable power is a fundamental right rather than a privilege. He highlighted that energy access remains essential to life, healthcare, and human progress, reinforcing JMG's commitment to building a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future for Nigeria.
Otunba Francis Meshioye, OFR, President of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria and Executive Director of JMG Limited, explained that investing in community healthcare forms a core part of the company's corporate social responsibility strategy. This initiative follows a similar successful donation to the Primary Healthcare Centre in Bariga, Lagos, in 2024, demonstrating JMG's ongoing commitment to healthcare infrastructure development.
The project also received strong endorsement from government officials. Dr. Dayo Lajide, Permanent Secretary of Lagos State Health District 2, commended JMG's efforts and encouraged other organizations to emulate this laudable gesture, recognizing its alignment with the state government's plans for quality healthcare delivery.
Dr. Hassan Sanuth from the Lagos State Ministry of Environment noted that the shift to renewable energy significantly advances the state's commitment to environmental sustainability and climate change mitigation, creating a win-win situation for both healthcare and environmental conservation.
Dr. Mariam Oshodi, Medical Director of Ketu Primary Healthcare Centre, expressed profound appreciation for JMG's donation, confirming that the solar power system would immediately and significantly improve service reliability at the facility. This sentiment was echoed by Honorable Adetola Abubakar, Executive Chairman of Agboyi-Ketu Local Council Development Area, who recognized the project's transformative impact on community healthcare.
The successful implementation at Ketu Primary Healthcare Centre showcases the technical expertise of JMG's Solar Division, which continues to deliver customized solar energy solutions across Nigeria, contributing to a sustainable energy future for both businesses and communities.
