Investors to enjoy maximum power supply – Shettima

By Abimbola Bamgbose

Investors in Nigeria will begin to enjoy maximum power supply to boost production capacity while contributing to the general economic growth of the nation.

Vice President Kashim Shettima gave the assurance during the Agbara Business Roundtable held in Agbara, Ado-Odo/Ota Local Government Area of Ogun State.

Vice President Shettima, who is the Chairman, Board of Directors, Niger Delta Power Holding Company, said the country holds tremendous opportunities for not only foreign investors but also for local investors.

Senator Shettima who expressed displeasure that industries in the Agbara Cluster rely on other sources of power supply aside from the national grid, said the federal government through the Niger Delta Power Holding company, NDPHC, was committed to ensuring that clusters like the Agbara Industrial Hub benefits from a cheaper means of generating power in their various factories. 

In a remark, Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun said without adequate power supply, all infrastructures provided for the use of the people both at the state and federal levels would be in vain.

Governor Dapo Abiodun, who also disclosed that his administration has gone beyond the establishment of the Agbara Cluster by adding four additional clusters, said the state government would collaborate with the federal government to provide necessary support for investors.
