Chinese construction company Sinotec has
completed a major power project in Nigeria which
links the capital city, and expected to contribute
immensely to the country’s national grid.

The project, which included the construction of a 330 kilo volts (kv) new-built transformer substation,
132kv substation extension, 330kv transmission line and 132kv tubular poles, was commissioned on
Monday by Nigeria’s Vice President Namadi Sambo.

Designed to be one of the biggest substations in the West African country, the project, located in
Gwagwalada city of Abuja, was completed within 14
months after the site work commenced, Sinotec’s
deputy managing director, Bu Songbo, said at the
commissioning ceremony.

“We have completed many projects in the past 10
years (in Nigeria). However, this is the only one
which covered so many types of work scope,” the
company manager said.

Chinedu Nebo, Nigeria’s minister of power, described the project, executed under the National Integrated Power Project scheme, as “a very critical link in the national grid” of Africa’s most populous country.

He said the Niger Delta Power Holding Company of
Nigeria, which constructed the facility through
Sinotec, will be in its second phase of the project,
focus mainly on the construction of hydro power
plants in northern Nigeria to assure a mixed grid
distribution of power.

“All these will contribute immensely to the national
grid,” said Sambo, noting he commissioned a similar power project six days ago in the north central state of Benue.

Must we always call on these foreigners to execute major infrastructural contracts when we have graduates in such field in this country..

Instead of wasting excess money on foreign firm, why not upgrade our institutions too and employ these foreign lecturers to teach us what it needs to be an expatriate in one's chosen field , so u won't need to be flown out of the country before u can get a good health care...

[size=15pt]Nigeria, when will u start entrusting such huge projects to your National firms filled with ur institution graduates... embarassed [/size]

HELLO BERLIN (WE ARE READY )
Barcelona are going through to the Champions League final after 5-3 on aggregate! Bayern München fought very well and won today's match with 3-2, but it wasn't enough.

They will soon be complaining about has shortages to the plant. The same thing happened to all the plants they have been commissioning.

Always putting The cart before the horse.

The whole notion of a 'national' grid for Nigeria is silly.

Let each state generate its own power.
