nairamaverick: which year would it be completed?

you just ended up posting nonsense.didnt you see within two years?

Gov..MARTIN Elechi~~OCHUDO!!,well done sir!. very soon ABAKALIKI will join the list of most popular cities in Nigeria...#NWA~ABAKALIKI~4~LIFE

what happened to the Nkalagu cement factory? the governor shld revive that company first, what happened to the company may also happen to one that is about to be constructed

Ebonyi state, always in the news for the right reasons. I will personally relocate to there, if they can complete that project and have 24/7 power supply as promised.

nairamaverick: which year would it be completed?

Second paragraph of the news.

The project, with the capacity of 2,700 megawatts, is expected to be completed within two years.

Smh

adconline: How can a govt have a JV of $1.14bn with a fictitious company-hodges and bakersfield? What's their track record? This company doesn't even have a website.. Just Facebook. What's the name of Korean company to construct this project? Naija govt deceiving folks since 2000BC!

Yes, this is obvious fraud. Mr. Terry Moreland and Mr. KES Sion do not exist, there is no trace of them anywhere and this so called power company that will apparently be holding 80% of the companies assets Hodges and Bakers Field is non-existent, this is just another ploy to steal money from Nigerians. You Ebonyi guys need to riot or protest against this.

adconline:
JVs can be formed, but by partners who have proven track record. JV equity from Ebonyi is about N40bn- 40% of their annual budget. It runs a budget of less than N100bn. Where is the money coming from? Who is backing the fictitious company? How come no Naija Banks,ADB, IFC, World Bank, GE, ABB are mentioned? Who are their technical partners?

......keep quiet, aew u so allergic to progress and development?

Good development, this has been done in Ogun state years back.

dridowu: constructing mega project is easy but the way we maintain them remain the unanswered question. Good one but again how soon will the project br completed.

u sure say u read d article at all??

IGBOSON1:

^^^Let's be the ones to worry about that! Mention was made of a number of partners involved in the venture. So you think it's not possible that a wholly new company was setup solely for this venture; to take care of the different joint-venture partners and better manage the project!

Is this going to be a gas-fired plant; and if so, where will the gas be sourced from?........Anyone know?

I think it is going to by hydro powered.
It is situated at Oferekpe, Ebonyi state. The same Oferekpe that has a massive water plant. There is big water there.
That megawatt it's gonna generate, will be more than abundant for Ebonyi state.
IPP is the way man. If it's state venture, then it ain't gonna be costly as private power.

Can't wait for 2016.

HandOfChukwu: Yes, this is obvious fraud.

Mr Elechi is not known for deception. He stands by his words and projects.

unapologetic: ABAKALIKI — EBONYI State government, yesterday, signed $1.14 billion contract with foreign partners for the construction of the state’s Independent Power Plant, IPP.

The project, with the capacity of 2,700 megawatts, is expected to be completed within two years. At the ceremony which took place at the State Executive Council meeting at Government House, Abakaliki, the Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, said the project would boost industrial revolution of the state and the South East and enhance the development of other sectors of the economy.

The proposed power plant, which is jointly owned by Hodges and Bakers Field and Ebonyi State government at 80, 20 per cent share, would be constructed by a Korean firm.
The plant is to be located at West Bank of Cross River in Oferekpe/Akahuwhu Inyimegu in Ikwo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
The Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, described the plant as the single largest power plant in the country.

Professor Nebo promised that the Federal Government would give the state necessary assistance to ensure that the project was actualised and commended Ebonyi State government for its visionary leadership.

Governor Martin Elechi said the project would increase the income stream of the state by N40 billion every year to accelerate the development of the state.
He commended the Minister of Power and development partners for their cooperation to ensure the realisation of the project.
Chief Executive Officer, Ebonyi Independent Plant, Mr. Terry Moreland, and the representative of the firm constructing the project, Mr. KES Sion, assured of their commitment to ensure the completion of the plant.

Waooo... Dis wat happens wen d governor is frm ur local govt. Although its being 3yrs i went 2 EBONYI, i hope d place develops quickly.
#PROUD*IKWO*GUY

Good one from Ebonyi.

*accordng to the article the ipp will be built under ppp arrangement, where the private sector repped by baker n hudges will bring 80percent n the ebonyi state govt brings 20percent. the total sum is 1.4billion dolls. from my calculations 20 percent of the state contributing amounts to 280,million dolls. e plenty o. chai elechi ochendu butu why..............................

amadice: ......keep quiet, aew u so allergic to progress and development?

Cos u haven't developed any brain to know that asking critical questions is part of development,so in a nutshell, this topic is way too much for your IQ. Go to a " beer palour" to have a field day with your mates!

Well lets give elechi benefit of the doubt.

Tales by moonlight. Never going to happen. You dont deliver a power plant in two years!

Will it be gas or diesel fired plant? Where will the fuel come from?

Gov'nor Martin Elechi and MEGA Projects.
The UKAWU and OFEREKPE MEGA Water Schemes, have they been completed or started working? The OCHUDO City, is it now in use? The MEGA Rice Mill project?
Can those on ground give us updates on these MEGA Projects and their stages of completion? Some of them started in his 1st tenure.

hw come u asked when its gonna be completed, whereas the article stated a period of 2yrs which shud be in d region of 2016 n 2017.





oh i understand ur plight, they hvnt start the project yet..... i got it.

jmoore: It is a welcome development if it is not a scam project.

Some folks are asking how it will benefit the people. This question sounds ridiculous. The state government will generate revenue by selling the electricity and the people will have steady and efficient power to run their businesses.
If all states can at least produce 1,000 megawatts, the country will generate more than 36,000 megawatts.

6Months to go

Leondrox:

I knew that your point will be base on years of completion but i still maintain my own point also , "How soon will the project be completed" . Its not a matter of PPP , as far as any Nigeria govt is invovled then be ready to add +1years to the project. This is Nigeria where government will tell us the project will be completed in Xyears but only to be completed in Zyears.

That's my state, Governor... Elechi is working..

This massive wen compared with Anambra government earlier plan to build 1500MW with the sum of 2.5billion dollars,which was posted here in july by "chinolization".I remember commenting then that the amount was too much for just 1500mw.I guess am vindicated.

. This is "Dead-on-Arrival" project. Well, its not possible to construct 2700mw with $1.14billion! Its the biggest scam I ever heard of! 1Mw costs average of $1million and for Nigeria system, it should cost about $1.2m/Mw. So do the Arithmetic and you will know this is a scam!

That money is way too much for the project
Ebonyi Govt looting Nigeria dry since 1000BC
