Abia: See Moment Gov. Alex Otti Hosts Chairman Of Geometric Power Limited And His Team

The Abia state Governor, Alex Otti has hosted Prof. Bartholomew Nnaji, CON, a former Minister of Power and Chairman of Geometric Power Limited and his team. We had some insightful conversation about the gains of the power plant in Alaoji Aba, Geometric Power Aba Limited, and its current status.

In his words he said, “So, we are expecting that once we have gas, which will be in the next month or two, we will be able to power Aba, that is, from our own power plant.

“Right now, we are buying power from the National Grid, that is why power is not reliable yet and so, we will like to ask our citizens of Aba to bear with us that we are getting there. We are pretty much there.

“The turbines to power the electricity plant which were taken abroad for maintenance have been brought back to the plant and reinstalled.

“We are now working with the NNPC to resolve the issue of gas supply to the plant.”

He however assured that, consumers are going to get the power at a regulated price set by the regulator, Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).

“I am grateful for Prof. Nnaji’s support and recognition of our commitment to building a prosperous Abia State through effective collaboration between the government and the private sector. By leveraging on the strength of the power plant, we can make significant strides in such areas as the manufacturing sector, infrastructure development, SMEs, job creation, and social welfare.

Also present among the team was the Managing Director/CEO of Niger Delta Power Holding Corporation, NDPHC, Chiedu Ugbo, and other senior management staff of NDPHC.
