Akon recently launched an academy aimed at training people on energy production. The academy is part of his Akon Lighting Africa initiative. He is in Nigeria to promote his project and apart from Elumelu, also visited the Lagos state governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
The singer plans to use solar energy to hopefully provide 600 million Africans with electricity.
