Ogun State government has signed a Memorandum Of Understanding MOU, with a British Power Firm, as part of efforts to improve power generation towards unlocking more economic potentials and attract more investors.
The state Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun while signing the MOU with the British Power Firm in his Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta office said as a leading industrial State, there was need for the State to have constant power supply to serve existing companies and attract new ones.
While noting that medium and small scale businesses rely on power to thrive, Governor Abiodun pointed out that self sufficiency in electricity would encourage artisans to venture into small scale businesses which would further boost industrial capacity of the State.
Earlier, the British Deputy High Commissioner in Nigeria Mr. Ben Lienellyn-Jones who led the company’s delegation had said that the company was in the State to partner the state government in the area of energy, power and other businesses towards creating jobs for the people.
Also, a director in the Company, Mr. Joel Abrams, said the company would provide 250 Megawatts of electricity to serve 50,000 residents and companies at the initial stage and would be improved upon subsequently.
