The Commissioner for Power and Renewable Energy in Cross River State, Eka Wills, has disclosed that the search for a solution to dwindling oil revenues led them to focus on other sources of generating energy and power. At energy workshop in Calabar, Wills said they will use energy to restore the fortunes of the state.
“The energy sector is one of the most outstanding ways of bringing the State back to winning ways.' He noted that the drop in production capacity and prices of petroleum products, amongst other reasons, promoted the State to 'strategize and implement quick-win initiatives to attract conventional and alternative investments to finance development projects.
He called on stakeholders, experts in the energy and power sectors, as well as consultants, to brainstorm on how best to utilize the vast energy endowments of the State to boost the economy.
