Could 'solar roads' help generate electricity?
A stretch of road in France has been paved with solar PV (photovoltaic) panels as part of a government-backed initiative for renewable electricity generation. It is estimated that even busy roads can “see” the sky 70-90% of the time. The solar PV panels are coated in crushed glass and resin to make them more durable. But the cost of making the almost half a mile of “Wattway” was an estimated four to six times as much as covering the area with conventional solar panels. The company aims to significantly reduce the cost in the future.

So imagine other countries paving their road with solar panels making progress and improving life, but here in Nigeria no electricity no good roads talk more of paving roads with solar panels, the only thing that they are good in is money laundering. I don't know what to say again, my only prayer is for Biafra, a state that will be free from corruption.
God bless Biafra!!!
