COSON HOUSE GOES SOLAR!

The magnificent COSON House in Ikeja, the sparkling headquarters of Copyright Society of Nigeria (COSON), the nation’s biggest copyright collective management organization, is now being significantly powered by solar energy. This was disclosed by COSON Chairman, Chief Tony Okoroji, in his address to the recently concluded Annual General Meeting of the society which took place at the COSON House Arena.

Speaking on COSON House, Chief Okoroji said: “Fellow members of COSON, you would not have failed to notice that even in the very dark economic circumstances which have negatively affected every aspect of life in Nigeria and almost every structure in the country, your COSON House continues to sparkle and continues to be pristine, seven and half years after it was commissioned. You will not find a stain on any wall nor a dead bulb anywhere in COSON House. Every installation in the building continues to function at optimum. As I have mentioned before, there are ten toilets in this building and you can practically dine in any of them because they forever remain sparkling clean.

“As you arrived COSON House today, you may have noticed that much of the left side of the roof of this edifice is almost completely covered by solar panels. Following a decision of our Board, COSON House is today being powered significantly by solar energy. Our substantial investment in solar power is helping us to confront the astronomical rise in the cost of diesel to fuel our big generators and to deal with the much-heightened cost of public electricity. More importantly, as a responsible organization, the deployment of solar energy represents our commitment and contribution to a clean environment and to the battle against global warming.

“What I have just said, represents the COSON Spirit. The COSON Spirit is the spirit of continuous progress, a spirit that does not bow to any adversity but confronts hardship and danger with determination and purpose. The COSON Spirit does not tolerate failure of any kind and optimizes the adage, “where there is a will, there is a way”. The COSON Spirt is the reason that despite the unprecedented, coordinated and almost endless missiles that have been fired at us, COSON today, continues to fly high”.
