'Akon lighting Africa' commences

 Akon's solar energy project in Africa is taking off as the workers of 'Akon Lighting Africa' have been installing solar-powered street lights and residential systems.

The musician's initiative has garnered nods from people because it is hiring local young people and providing them with training, skills and most of all steady jobs and income.

Akon has done Africa proud...He is plouging money into the continent and this for sure would bring smiles to families and homes.Good work Akon,well done!
