others.SPACE is a solar-powered, up-cycled, customizable portable
shipping container adaptable for a wide variety of applications.
Executive Director of SpaceNigeria, Dimeji Bassir said “ With the
overwhelming cost of powering offices and workspaces with fuel
generators in Nigeria, SPACE presents an innovative and economical
alternative to businesses having an incentive to drive down costs by
utilizing an eco-friendly power generating technology package. SPACE
