The federal executive council (FEC) has approved the sum of N3.4 billion for the restoration of power supply in Borno.
“They resuscitated a single line of 33 KV from Damaturu, Yobe state and through that, we took a very small quantity of electricity which could only give electricity on the 11 KV line.“So, we are now trying to supply through another new line, a double circuit 33 KV which can take up to around 40 Megawatts from the Damaturu 330 substation. This is at a cost of N3,164,293,880 plus N250,000 million for security and other logistics, a total of N3.
He also said the ministry got the approval for the construction of five multimillion dollars one-line power substations in Birnin Kudu, Babura, and Kazaure in Jigawa state; Nguru, Yobe; Oro, in Kwara, and a 22-kilometre transmission line passing through Birnin Kudu-Missau-Ningi-Azare in Jigawa and Bauchi.
“The second memo that was approved was for a concession of the eastern zone offshore waste reception facility, in line with international conventions and environmental laws signed by Nigeria, which require that offshore wastes generated by ships be disposed of in an organised manner in order to protect biodiversity and human beings.”The minister said he obtained a similar approval for the Western and Central zones of the maritime domain of Nigeria, for 10 years.
