Kano State government is to build its
own independent power plant in
order to reduce electricity shortage in
the state.
Speaking during a press briefing as
part of Democracy Day celebration in
Kano yesterday, the state governor,
Engr. Rabi’u Musa Kwankwaso, said
the state has been consulting with
some independent power companies
on the issue of power supply without
reaching a deal, saying however that
after careful analysis of the whole
issue the state decided to shoulder
the project’s responsibility alone.
“When we came into power, we made
several attempts to find credible
companies that we will collaborate
with to construct power plants at Tiga
and Challawa; but being that we work
with time and also we do not want to
start something that may end up with
problem either for the government or
the companies, we decided to make
provision in the next year’s budget to
solely construct an independent
power plant that will in a great deal
reduce the power supply shortage
being experienced,” he said.
According to the governor, the project
has already been captured in next
year’s budget and it is hoped that
when completed the power plant will
be utilized either by the water
treatment plants in the state or by the
companies.
Similarly, Kwankwaso had also
announced that the state government
has decided to relocate the state
central prison from its present
location to Janguza, adding that when
the relocation processes were
completed the site of the present
prison will be converted into a girls’
school.
The governor also stated that the state
has a policy that every National Youth
Corps member sent to the state will
be posted to school with the
exception of medical students. He
added that the state government has
already approved the construction of
200 houses in various schools within
the state to complement its decision
of using corp members in its schools

He has officially joined APC, let the media propaganda begin!
Get used to hearing Kano state government ''to'' do this or that.
''To'' is their favourite word in APC.

What will power it? I seem to have missed that part.

Good to hear Kano is spending on something positive for its economy. They should at least do something positive with all the money they steal from the Niger Delta.
Better to build power plants than sponsor Boko Haram to kill innocent people.
