The Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mele Kyari, on Thursday said the Maiduguri and Environs Emergency Power Project would be delivered on schedule.

Kyari told the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, and the people of Maiduguri that the project was based on a presidential directive to provide emergency intervention to the electricity supply disruptions facing the area as a result of the incessant activities of insurgents.

He said the project would further improve NNPC’s gas utilization efforts for the socio-economic benefit of Nigerians.

He was quoted in a statement issued by the oil firm in Abuja as saying, “NNPC as an enabler organisation is committed to the delivery of this project within schedule and has already awarded the contract to General Electric Global for the supply of gas turbine.

NNPC Begins Construction Of 50MW Gas Plant In Borno
“The Engineering, Procurement and Construction has been contracted to China Machinery and Engineering Corporation.”

Maiduguri has been without power supply since January 2021 as a result of the activities of insurgents who had blown up transmission lines on at least two occasions.

In August 2021, NNPC signed an official contract with CMEC and GE on the project.

The corporation stated that the groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday signified the official commencement of the project as the contractors had since moved to site.

On his part, Zulum described the groundbreaking ceremony as a huge relief to the people of Maiduguri, who had been without power supply for nine months.

He said NNPC’s commercial investments in the 50MW combined gas power plant would ultimately increase energy supply level to Maiduguri and environs, thereby impacting the state’s economy positively when completed.

He said the Borno State Government would do everything possible to ensure that maximum security of lives and property was guaranteed for the project implementation team and residents of the state.

That's bad

No matter how you hear the news of bokoharam and borno bombing...north wants to build the biggest gas plant in Africa there....

Despite the bombing and killing they want a largest gas plant in borno....you can yaaap all you like they will still construct it.

Note: borno do not have gas o....the gas is coming from south east


But Ethiopia airline couldn't land in Enugu airport on Monday because of sit at home and you rushed online to call it IPOB driving investment away from south east and them from the north are pushing and helping you spread it all over the net.....who's the fool.

They will not tell you that AIR PEACE wanted to handle some renovation of ENUGU AIRPORT so he can also make the place his main hub and same FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DISAPPROVED was it the SIT AT HOME THAT CAUSED IT?


UNTIL YOU ALL LEARN TO THINK LIKE THEM YOU CAN NEVER BEAT THEM TO THIS GAME

You laid gas pipes all the way from the Niger delta to Boko Haram territory for them to destroy so that you can budget more money for repairs. These northerners are just wasting the resources of the country anyhow because it isn't theirs to lose.
