Akon is one hard working guy. After announcing that he would like to build his own ‘Wakanda’ in Senegal and is launching his own cryptocurrency, Akon sets to now help bring solar powered light to Sierra Leone.
Promising 5,000 solar-powered streetlights and 2,500 traffic lights to support Sierra Leone’s electrification agenda, the rapper / philanthropist looks to work with the country’s new president, Julius Maada Bio to get this completed.
When it comes to helping the growth of African countries, Akon has introduced his Lighting Africa project in 2016 as he looks to light up all of Africa with solar energy.
