Gov Otti reveal Plans to Begin Independent Power Supply in Abia
Abia state governor, Alex Otti, has promised that some part of the state will be independently powered through the Geometric Power Limited’s power plant in a few months.
Gov Otti made the disclosure on Tuesday when the chairman, Geometric Power Limited, Prof Bartholomew Nnaji, a former minister of power and his team paid him a courtesy visit.
Gov Otti expressed his excitement that Aba, a hugely commercial part of the state, will soon have reliable power supply.
He also noted that the State and GPL were negotiating with the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) to resolve the gas supply issue.
“Right now, we are buying power from the national grid, that is why power is not reliable yet. And so, we would like to ask our citizens of Aba to bear with us that we are getting there,” Otti said.
“The turbines to power the electricity plant, which was taken abroad for maintenance, have been brought back to the plant and reinstalled,” the governor announced.
TrackNews Media understands that the Geometric Power Limited, located in Alaoji Aba, is expected to add 188 megawatts to Nigeria’s electricity output.
