FG assures completion of Egbema power plant, as Imo Govt, NDPHC pledge collaboration

The Federal Government has assured of accelerated completion of Egbema Power Plant in Imo State.

Giving the assurance at the weekend during an inspection visit to the power plant, Minister of  Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu also commended the State Governor, Hope Uzodinma for his dedication to collaborating with NDPHC in order to complete the critical power infrastructure projects.

Accompanied by the Managing Director, Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), Chief ChieduUgbo, the Minister praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for signing the 2023 Electricity Act, which allows states to participate in the electricity sector.  

Adelabu also praised Governor Uzodinma for his commitment to working with NDPHC to expedite completion of the Egbema power plant and associated transmission projects, which will improve electricity supply not only in Imo State but also nationwide.

Also speaking during a meeting with the Minister in the Government House, Governor Uzodinma pledged to collaborate with the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to ensure the completion of the plant in order to improve electricity supply in the State.

The collaboration will ensure the completion of the 378.3 MW Egbema Power Plant, along with the 330/33kV switchyard, the Omoku-Egbema-Owerri-Alaoji 330kV DC transmission lines projects and the Owerri transmission substation expansion project. The projects are at various stages with the power plant at 70 per cent completion stage.

The collaboration between the Imo State Government and NDPHC aims to enhance electricity supply and energize homes and businesses in Imo State through the completion of the Egbema Power Plant and associated transmission infrastructure.

Meanwhile nothing is happening in Enugu state

Honestly I praise the FG for still considering these people for all these projects considering the way these animals trash and ridicule Nigeria daily online.

95% of comments on social media trashing Nigeria are from these demons from the South East.

If I were Tinubu I would just ignore their region. Let them stew in their own hate.

The man is too soft.

He’s too kind.
