President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday
promised that his administration would give
the highest possible priority to the rapid
improvement of power supply across the
country.
According to a statement by his Special
Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi
Adesina, the President spoke while granting
audience to officials of CGGC, the Chinese
construction company working on the
Mambilla Power Project.
Adesina quoted the President as saying that
it was quite regrettable that power generation
in the country had failed to keep pace with
national needs over the years.
To salvage the situation, Buhari said his
administration would ensure that the
Mambilla project and other unfinished hydro-
power projects in the country were completed
expeditiously in order to boost electricity
supply in the country.
He was quoted as saying, “I am very much
interested in Mambilla and other hydro-power
projects, not only for the improvement of
power, but also for irrigation, as both power
and irrigation projects will help to improve
the lives of Nigerians.
“I am going to ask for details of the
Mambilla hydro-power project and others.
Very soon, we will get together and redefine
the project agreements for faster results.”
The Managing Director, CGGC, Mr. Zhang
Heng, who led his company’s delegation, was
also reported to have told the President that
work on the Mambilla project was being
delayed by the failure of previous
administrations to provide the counterpart
funding specified in the agreement with the
Chinese government.
The CGGC delegation was accompanied to the
Presidential Villa by Governor Abdulaziz Yari
of Zamfara State.
