The Federal Government has said that the Zungeru Hydro Power Plant
would add 700 megawatts of electricity to the national grid when
completed.
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, made
the disclosure in a statement issued by Etore Thomas, Deputy Director,
Press, in the ministry.
The statement said that Mr. Fashola represented by the Director,
Energy Resources in the Ministry, Emmanuel Ajayi, made the disclosure at
the project site in Zungeru, Niger State.
Mr. Fashola said the project, being executed by a consortium of
major Chinese companies, was one of the biggest hydro power projects in
the country.
“It is a great and feasible feat that would boost the provision of electricity supply nation-wide.
“It is a good omen for the attainment of the present
administration’s thrust of providing incremental, sustainable and
uninterrupted power supply which Nigerians are yearning for.”
He commended the efforts of partners involved in the execution of
the project and urged the host communities to maintain peace. He said
that government had put in place modalities to ensure adequate
compensation and resettlement of those affected by the project site.
The statement indicated that the Governor of Niger State, Abubakar
Bello, was represented by the Commissioner for Works and Transport,
Abdulmalik Cheche.
“Niger State is housing yet another power project of 700MW;
apart from the three other power projects already sited in the state,
namely, Jebba, Kainji and Shiroro,” he was quoted as saying.
He commended the Federal Government for the project, noting that it
had already created over 5,000 employment opportunities for the host
communities.
