President Bola Ahmed Tinubu pledges to address obstacles in Nigeria’s electric power sector.
At the groundbreaking of the Gwagwalada Independent Thermal Power Plant (Phase 1), he emphasizes the need to improve energy generation and distribution to boost national growth. The administration aims to surpass the current 5,300MW supply and expand the GDP through reliable electricity.
The project is part of a 3,600MW power initiative based on the AKK gas pipeline corridors, aiming to attract foreign investments.
Tinubu commits to harnessing gas resources, pursuing low-carbon energy options like solar, hydro, wind, and biofuels.
The initiative received commendation from the NNPC Ltd CEO, who assured continued efforts to enhance energy security and job creation through power projects.
