UMUAHIA— A power generating firm, Geometric Power System, owned by former Minister of Power, Prof. Barth Nnaji will begin generation and distribution of power in Aba next month.

Prof. Barth Nnaji, who is also served as Chairman of the firm said, necessary arrangements have been concluded for the power company to take off.

Nnaji explained that distribution of electricity from the power plant will be carried out under the name of Aba Power Limited.

He, however, maintained that generation of power will be carried out by Geometrics Company located at Osisioma in Aba.

Nnaji spoke on Monday while hosting the General Secretary of National Union of Electricity Employees, NUEE, Comrade Joe Ajaero, who was in Aba to inaugurate a chapter of the union in the new company.

The former Minister, however, disclosed that the company would be officially commissioned in August by President Goodluck Jonathan.

He disclosed that 141 Mega Watts of electricity would be generated at the plant. According to him “the power needs of Aba will be supplied and excess supplied to the national grid.

Professor Nnaji explained that the major target of the project which began in 2004, was to make Aba become the industrial capital of Nigeria.

maasoap: I knew it. That man is a fraudster. He removed 150 naira meter maintenance fee only for this crook Nnaji of a thing to replace it with 500 naira fixed charge. It is only in Nigeria you have counter(meter) and you are still being billed using crude method in combination. Whether you have power supply or not, you will be made to cough out 500 naira every month in addition to per unit charge that he increased from 7.30 to 12.30. Thanks to the Mr Nnaji Fraud.

boneruns:

I knew it too! Aboki man will never see good thing done by an Igbo man.

What concerns you with 'Aba' power plant? This is not Tuwo or Fura.

Sai Nnaji!

Goddex: Eko Ile! Eko Ile! Eko Ile! Where is that village ACN rat that was everywhere celebrating a 10MW giant generator Fashola bought for Alausa secretariat? Have you seen? An individual is building a 141MW power plant to power the whole of Aba and I have seen pictures, it is really a beautiful piece of technology to behold.

maasoap: Even an Aboki uses his brain well more than you did here. Did I say anything about your "Aba made" power plant? Nnaji is a fraud, the evil that man does, lives after them. May you should ask Oga Jona why he was told to leave. You will undetstand better.
