Dr Egwin Evans, Associate Professor, Industrial Bio-chemistry and Bio-Processes, Federal University of Technology (FUT), Minna, on Wednesday said the country could generate electricity from sewage water from homes.
Evans told newsmen in Abuja that Nigerians could generate enough electricity for their household use from their sewage tanks.
According to him, this can be achieved through green technology where sewage water with the introduction of some micro organisms can be transformed into power to generate electricity.
"Normal micro organisms from the sewage tanks can generate electricity for your house and when that is done the waste can then be converted to organic fertiliser,’’ he said.
He said the innovation if harnessed would solve the problem of inadequate power supply and waste management in the country.
The scientist, who described the technology as being safe, called on Nigerians to key into the innovation.
He solicited partnership between FUT Minna and private electricity companies to commercialise the innovation to address the power challenge in the country.
