He said the solar panels mounted on the roof of the office building were meant to serve as backup in case of power outage.
He said: “We are having light, those panels are for back up for some of our equipment, we have internet servers that need to work 24/7.
“There’s no place in Nigeria that you will see light 24 hours, but our network need to work 24/7 that is why we use backup solar panels to make sure we are constantly online.
“Our computers doesn’t need to be down because we work online too.”
