project would be added to the
national grid. “We are set to commission the
Omotosho Phase 2. The four turbines
are contributing 500MW to the
national grid. “We have completed all the test
running, and we find it imperative
to hand it over to government after
the warranty period of a year
in overseeing the plant,” Zhao-Long

Federal Government towards ensuring
the availability of stable electricity
supply to Nigerians. The plant is the second of the 10

Ihorvbor 504MW and Gbarain
252MW, Others are Sapele 504MW,

the then government of
former President Olusegun Obasanjo,
under the coordination of the
then Minister of Power, Liyel Imoke,
now the Governor of Cross River. But the project was abandoned
between 2007 and 2009 due to
funding arrangements. Work resumed on Omotosho power
plant project in 2010. President Goodluck Jonathan on Oct

Geregu II plant in Kogi.
