The loan would be distributed to three states.

“$30 million will be on lent to the Kaduna State government and this will be used to augment the resources needed for the construction of the 70 kilometres transmission line from the Gurara dam to Kaduna industrial area. It will also be used for the construction of 132/ 33KVA substation power supply to Kaduna industrial area and 50 communities in Kaduna State will also benefit from solar electricity project” he said
