BENIN—THE Federal Government, yesterday, said that the on-going National Integrated Power Project, NIPP, being executed in Ihovbor, Edo State, with a view to boosting power supply in the Niger Delta region, will be completed in April this year.

Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of Niger Delta Power Holding Company of Nigeria, owners of the NIPP, Mr. James Olotu, in Benin City, during the commissioning of the 2×15 MVA 33/11 KV injection sub-station constructed by the NIPP in Ugbowo, Benin City, said when completed, each of the units of the power plant will generate and transit 125 mega watts into the national grid.

He said: “The power plant is about 98 per cent completed. Hopefully by April, the first unit of the power plant will come on stream to give us about 125 mega watts. The power plant has four units, it is our hope that in the next one month, one unit will come into the system from April. So by June-July, all the units should have been ready.”

On the newly commissioned injection sub-station, which will boost power supply in Ugbowo and Oloku areas of Benin City, Olotu said; “If the sub-station is well maintained, it can last for 30 years or more. The Federal Government is determined to improve power supply in the country and that is why there are so many intervention programmes currently on going. We also have lines that are coming from the sub-stations and distributing power to localities around here.”

Also speaking, Managing Director, Benin Electricity Distribution Company, Engr. Effiong Umoren, said the commissioning of the project will go a long way to bring relief to electricity consumers in many communities in Benin City.

Tired of all these "will soon be ready" and "will soon be commissioned" announcements.

Quit reasoning through your behind, like what load of rubbish is this?

From transportation - Dude rehabilitated the rail system (though not perfect), but heck, 3/4 is better than none. On that same topic, he has rehabilitated few of our airports (Safety ncluded). Majority of our roads are looking tarred and neat, "the roads are improving" (courtesy of a ABC Group as well as other travelers).

Power - Visit YouTube to see videos of actual plants coming online - Private and Public investments. This man is working hard on the Power Road map strategy. PHCN was delivered a painful death that TCN has taken over, meanwhile GENCO's are coming out with newer plants, while DISCO's are improving their networks.

The list of projects COMPLETED projects continues, so QUIT HATING

Lol, BRICS conference on WHAT exactly?

Discuss your economy that's experiencing slower growth? It's cool bro, Nigeria is rising, and it being a MINT nation, comparing to SA is an insult, however comparing to other nations like Brazil with same size, that's should be the goal. Nigeria should be striving to be among Brazil and China and NOT SA..
