The Federal Government has ordered all contractors handling power projects across the country to return back to their various sites following the gradual relaxation of the COVID-19 lockdown.
The Minister of Power, Sale Mamman, gave the order while inspecting the newly completed 2X60MVA 132/33KV substation in Gagarawa, Jigawa State, constructed by the Transmission Company of Nigeria.
Mamman said, “I can tell you that the impact of the pandemic is huge in the power sector as a real service provider. However, we have joined the government’s effort to restart the economy with the easing of the lockdown. On the 2X60MVA 132/33KV substation in Gagarawa, the minister said the facility would boost power supply in over seven Local Government Areas, including an industrial area.
