Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has signed a contract with China Machinery Engineering Company (CMEC) and General Electric (GE) for the 50MW Maiduguri Emergency Power Project.
Gatekeepers News reports that the contract was signed on Tuesday at the Corporation’s headquarter in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
NNPC said the project is aimed at combating the perennial power challenge in the Borno State capital and its environs.
The Corporation also noted that the project is an integral part of ongoing efforts to deepen NNPC’S gas utilization for numerous socio-economic benefits across the country.
Gatekeepers News reports that the NNPC’s Group Managing Director, Mele Kyari had in April, disclosed plans to address the issue of power supply in Borno state.
“We think it’s very possible to establish a dedicated plant in Maiduguri which will serve the current needs and potentially supply power to other neighbouring cities and even countries.
“We are seeing a very short time frame, between three to four months we should be able to put up a power plant that will serve Borno,” the NNPC boss had said.
