Dr. Menjay said the initiative is intended to complement public electricity while providing a more reliable power source for the university community.

He noted that persistent power interruptions have disrupted teaching, learning, and administrative activities, underscoring the need for a sustainable alternative.

” With our collective Engagement we will make it happen; This works in other country and their campuses, while you think this can work here,” Dr. Menjay asked his students

“The inconsistency of electricity on campus continues to affect the smooth operation of the university,” Dr. Menjay said. “This project is a strategic response to ensure stability, efficiency, and long-term development.”

According to the university president, discussions are already underway with international partners in Italy. He disclosed that an initial technical assessment of the project has been completed, with a second phase expected to begin soon to finalize the design and capacity of the proposed solar system.

Dr. Menjay first shared details of the initiative during a general meeting with students held on Friday, where he emphasized the administration’s commitment to improving campus infrastructure.

He later reiterated the plan during a recent meeting with the university’s security department, on Monday at the security command Center, highlighting the broader institutional benefits of reliable power, including safety and operational continuity.

The proposed solar energy project aligns with Dr. Menjay’s broader vision to modernize Tubman University and expand its use of sustainable energy solutions as part of long-term institutional reform.
