The All Progressives Congress Legacy Awareness and Campaign, a voluntary think-tank group within the party, has stated that the 2021 completion date for the 700MW Zungeru Hydropower Plant, which will be one of the biggest in the country, remains sacrosanct.

The group said since 2015, the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has focused on completing inherited projects, “many of which had been abandoned or facing funding challenges; resolving the liquidity issues faced by players in the sector; promoting off-grid/renewable initiatives, especially targeting underserved communities and vulnerable populations; and ensuring robust consumer protection for on-grid electricity consumers.

According to the statement, “The 700MW Zungeru Hydropower Plant is scheduled for completion at the end of 2021. It will be one of the biggest power plants in the country. The group stressed that the Buhari administration had also built the Afam 3 Fast Power Plant, with a capacity to generate 240MW of electricity.
