All On Announces $395,000 Grant to Ceesolar Energy for Mini-Grid Power Project in Niger Delta.
Lagos, Nigeria – 20-06-2024- In its commitment to sustainable development and economic growth in the Niger Delta, All On, the Shell funded leading Nigerian impact investment company, announces a $395,000 grant awarded to Ceesolar Energy Limited, a renewable energy firm specialising in solar system design and construction, energy system deployment. This marks the first beneficiary of the Niger Delta Grant program, a collaborative initiative designed to bridge the energy gap in the Niger Delta region.
The Niger Delta, despite its abundance of natural resources, faces significant energy access challenges. Recognising this disparity, All On established the Niger Delta Grant program to empower off-grid developers to bring clean, reliable power to underserved communities.
Ceesolar Energy Limited will utilise the grant to bring off-grid power to the Oweighoroha community in Bayelsa State. Their project will provide essential electricity for 430 connections, empowering residents with both social and productive-use applications.
“We are delighted to announce the grant to Ceesolar Energy,” said Caroline Eboumbou, All On’s Chief Executive Officer. “This signing signifies our unwavering commitment, alongside Shell, to fostering a brighter future for the Niger Delta This decision reflects Bayelsa’s critical importance to All on, which is determined to address the significant lack of access to commercial electrification opportunities that the communities have endured.
The presence of Country Chair of the Sustainable Energy for Change Initiative, Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN), Osagie Okunbor, at the signing ceremony underscored the program’s significance and the commitment of Shell’s All On in driving positive change across the Niger Delta.
“The Niger Delta holds immense potential,” said Country Chair of the Sustainable Energy for Change Initiative, Shell Companies in Nigeria (SCiN), Osagie Okunbor. “By providing grants, we can empower developers and contribute to closing the energy gap, one community at a time. Our aim is to ensure that the project is sustainable; this is the reason we went through the rigorous selection process. Protecting the mini grid is crucial; we seek the cooperation of the leaders and residents of the community to prevent vandalism because the success of this project will pave the way for more initiatives not from All On alone but from other organisations.”
Following a rigorous selection process conducted by All On and the Renewable Energy Association of Nigeria (REAN), Ceesolar Energy emerged from a shortlist of 15 developers. Their proven track record operating in the Niger Delta and their existing project pipeline within Bayelsa State made them a compelling choice.
The Chief Executive Officer, Ceesolar Energy Limited, Chibueze Ekeh, said, “We are excited and honoured be awarded this grant. At Ceesolar Energy we are passionate about reducing carbon footprints through sustainable energy impacts. The Niger Delta is a region that needs sustainable energy impact; hence, this grant is timely to provide the impact to 2,000 people in the Oweighoroha community through the provision of mini grids.”

Primate Ayodele Fires Back at Liberia’s President Boakai Over Complaint Letter to FG, Predicts Second-Term Defeat
Primate Ayodele Responds To Liberia’s President, Joseph Boakai Over Letter To FG
Founder and Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele, has reacted to reports that the Liberian government raised concerns with Nigerian authorities over his prophecies concerning Liberia and its leadership.
The cleric insisted that Liberian President Joseph Nyuma Boakai should focus on addressing the challenges facing his country rather than criticising prophetic messages. He also declared that the President would not secure a second term in office.
Primate Ayodele’s response followed reports that the Government of Liberia allegedly sent a letter to the Nigerian government expressing dissatisfaction with what it described as recurring negative prophecies about President Boakai, his administration, and the Liberian people.
According to the reported complaint, the prophecies, circulated through publications and videos, allegedly fuel anti-Nigerian sentiments among some Liberians and could threaten peace and stability in the country.
The Liberian government also reportedly accused the cleric of involving himself in the country’s political affairs during the 2023 presidential election by publicly supporting one of the candidates.
While acknowledging Nigeria’s commitment to freedom of expression and religious liberty, Liberia reportedly urged Nigerian authorities to exercise caution regarding statements made about friendly nations and to take appropriate action where necessary.
However, reports indicated that Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs distanced itself from the matter. The ministry reportedly maintained that the issue falls outside its constitutional and diplomatic responsibilities.
The ministry also emphasised that the Nigerian government does not censor citizens’ views provided such expressions do not violate the law.
Furthermore, it reportedly described the complaint as a private matter and reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to its longstanding bilateral relationship with Liberia.
Reacting to the development, Ayodele defended his prophetic record and recalled his prediction of the defeat of former Liberian President George Weah during the 2023 election.
“I warned George Weah and told him that if the election went into a second round, he would lose. That prophecy came to pass,” he said.
The cleric argued that his prophecies are not politically motivated. Instead, he described them as divine messages intended to guide leaders and nations.
Ayodele also questioned President Boakai’s decision to focus attention on his prophecies rather than on governance and national development.
“You are talking when your country has serious issues to deal with. Instead of concentrating on Liberia’s problems, you are analysing my prophecies,” he stated.
Despite the controversy, the cleric maintained that he would continue to speak on developments concerning Liberia whenever he receives divine revealations from the throne of God.
He also issued a fresh prediction regarding President Boakai’s political future.
“Don’t worry yourself about a second term because you have already lost it,” Ayodele declared.
The cleric reiterated that his prophecies serve as warnings and guidance. According to him, leaders who pay attention to divine counsel often avoid looming challenges, while those who ignore such warnings risk facing the consequences.

APC Primaries: How Primate Ayodele Foretold Ned Nwoko, Gbenga Daniel’s Loss (VIDEO)
The All Progressive Congress primary election that is currently ongoing has brought about surprises in some states, especially the Senate primary that was held yesterday.
The election, so far, can be described as one that has fallen even the mighty ones. We have seen grown men wailing and lamenting because they couldn’t accept the fact that they lost their bid to return to the national assembly despite their support for the government.
For some people who have been in the party for years, newcomers dislodged them during the election, and they have been crying foul, threatening to start legal actions, and the situation is bad for them because they can’t move to another party anymore.
Among those who were shockingly taken out of the way are Ned Nwoko, the senator representing Delta North and former governor Gbenga Daniel, the senator representing Ogun East senatorial district. Their loss is so humbling that they almost didn’t get any votes in their respective election.
Ned Nwoko lost to the former governor of Delta state, Ifeanyi Okowa, while Gbenga Daniel lost to the incumbent governor of Ogun state, Dapo Abiodun.
However, their losses had been foretold by popular Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, who is renowned for his prophetic insights on issues about politics, governance, education, and nations, to mention but a few.
In different live services, Primate Ayodele had warned both politicians about their ambition, foretelling what would befall them if they went ahead with the primaries.
For Gbenga Daniel, Primate Ayodele stated that a higher authority has taken his right from him, while advising him to forget about the position because they will only mock him. He revealed that the case has already been settled and it’s not in the former governor’s favour. This was months before the primary was held.
These were his words:
“The issue of Dapo and Gbenga Daniel. Gbenga Daniel doesn’t know that his party doesn’t love him. What happened is from the higher authority, and that may be the end of the case, so if Gbenga is struggling, they will just be mocking him.”
As he said, despite the fact that Gbenga Daniel tried his best to see that he gets a return ticket to the senate, he had to step down a few hours before the primary election as the odd wasn’t in his favour.
For Ned Nwoko, Primate Ayodele had stated that the ticket would be given to Okowa even when nobody believed it.
These were his words:
“Okowa and Ned senate ticket; they want to give it to Okowa, so watch , they will fail you Ned.”
As he said, Ned lost woefully in the election while Okowa won him with a margin that can never be closed.

“Ebola; Uganda, Sudan, Cameroun, Tanzania, DR Congo, watch out….”
Also in his prophecies for the new year which was released in December 2025, Primate Ayodele mentioned that there will be outbreak of Ebola virus in some countries in Africa which will lead to death of people.
These were his words:
“I foresee a lot of health challenges will surface in Africa namely Ebola, Tuberculosis, Jaundice, Lassa fever, migraine and another form of covid. I foresee chicken pox and another disease will break out in Nigeria.”
As he warned, the new wave of the virus as fulfilled Primate Ayodele’s prophecy.
