In a significant move to support education and infrastructure development, Dr Kandeh K. Yumkellahas donated a 10-kilowatt solar power system to the Old Bo Boys Association (OBBA), aimed at improving electricity supply at Bo School.
The solar installation will power the school’s administrative building and science laboratories, addressing longstanding challenges related to unreliable electricity. The project is expected to be completed and fully operational ahead of the institution’s upcoming 120th anniversary celebrations.
Education stakeholders have welcomed the initiative, noting that stable electricity is critical for effective teaching and learning, particularly in science and technology-related subjects that require practical laboratory work.

As preparations intensify for the historic anniversary, the solar project is being celebrated as a meaningful contribution to the school’s legacy—highlighting the importance of alumni support in advancing educational excellence.
Observers say the initiative not only reflects a spirit of giving back but also aligns with broader national efforts to promote sustainable energy solutions within educational institutions.
With the installation underway, Bo School is set to mark its 120th anniversary with a renewed commitment to quality education, powered by a reliable and environmentally friendly energy source.
