The Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, will on Thursday inaugurate the recently energized Lafia 2X150 MVA and 2X60 /132/33/330 KV transmission substation completed by the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited (NDPHC).
A statement by the company’s Head of Communication and Public Relations, Emmanuel Ojor, quoted the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule as saying that there are jubilations across the state over planned inauguration by the president.
Speaking during a pre-commissioning inspection to the substation by the Executive Director, Networks, NDPHC Limited, IfeOluwa Oyedele and his team, Sule, who was represented by his Deputy, Emmanuel Akabe said that the state and its environs will be greatly impacted by the project.
He noted that with the new development, the economy of Nasarawa state will improve while small, medium, and micro enterprises will all thrive because they need energy.
Earlier, Oyedele said although the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP), Lafia substation was funded by the federation, it was important to emphasize the contributions of the state government.
The statement added the project will also help to provide back feed to Abuja whenever necessary since FCT is being served from Shiroro and Geregu power stations.
