May God Almighty continue to bless our dear State Akwa Ibom with patriotic, dedicated, selfless, sincere, smart, intelligent, visionary, and hardworking leaders. Well done Governor Udom Emmanuel, your investments in the power sector will begin to yield fruits now. Now Ibom Utility Company Ltd can take the power generated by Ibom Power Company Ltd and distribute it to the good people of Akwa Ibom State without necessarily waiting for Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company(PHEDC) again. Indeed, Gov. Udom Emmanuel is a silent achiever! Now that Akwa Ibom State has broken this jinx, other states can follow suit if only they have their own state power generation company like Akwa Ibom State nnyin ![]() Ilaumoh: 2 Likes |

Gov. Udom Emmanuel has already tackled and fixed the issue of power transmission before applying for the license to distribute power in the state. Akwa Ibom State has been generating power since 2007 from the Ibom IPP at Ikot Abasi which is managed by Ibom Power Company Ltd. When Udom came in, he realized that the power generated by Ibom Power Company was not properly off-taken by the Transmission Company of Nigeria due to a lack of transmission infrastructure, so Udom took responsibility to construct the following power transmission infrastructure: 1. the 132/33KV and 2 X 60MVA transmission substation at Ekim, Mkpat Enin Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State, which was commissioned by VP Yemi Osibanjo on Saturday, September 21, 2019. 2. A brand new 33/11KV, 2 X 15MVA substation at the Victor Attah int'l airport, Uyo to provide dedicated grid power supply to the state-owned Victor Attah International Airport with a dedicated 33kv line from Ibom Tropicana. 3. he also built a brand new 33/11KV, 2 X 15MVA injection sub-station in Gen. Edet Akpan Avenue in Uyo. 4. Governor Emmanuel also collaborated with TCN to upgrade and commissioned a 132/33KV, 1 x 60MVA transformer at Afaha Ube in Uyo. 5. He also built a dedicated 33kv line to the four points by Sheraton in Ikot Ekpene and Ibom icon hotel and golf resort at Nwaniba, Uyo. 6. He has linked several communItIes that were hitherto not linked to the national grid, and his efforts to link the remaining communities are ongoing. All these have been completed and commissioned while the one in Oron town and the other one in Etim Ekpo LGA are ongoing. Governor Udom Emmanuel has invested more in power than any other state governor in Nigeria today. SmartPolician: 1 Like |

GOV EMMANUEL WINS BIG AS NERC APPROVES ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION LICENSE FOR AKWA IBOM By Aniekeme Finbarr The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) has approved the application from Ibom Utility company to operate an independent electricity distribution network licence which will enable Ibom Utility Company to distribute electricity in selected locations in Akwa Ibom state. The announcement was made yesterday in Abuja after the approval presentation ceremony by NERC on Twitter. The Akwa 𝗜bom State Government delegation was led by the Secretary to State Government, Dr Emmanuel Ekuwem, Commissioner For Power, Hon John James and SSA to the Governor on Power, and The Managing Director of Ibom Power, Engr Mayen Etukudo The Commission similarly approved the application for an amendment of the on-grid electricity generating licence to enable Ibom Power Company Ltd embed into the distribution network of Ibom utility company limited. This development is a big win for Akwa Ibom State as Governor Udom Emmanuel at several fora had lamented the absence of steady power supply to be caused by poor distribution despite heavy investment by the state government in power. The Governor hit the ground running when barely eighteen months into office, he inaugurated a newly built 33/11KV, 2 X 15MVA injection sub-station in Uyo, the state capital. Thereafter, the Governor built a similar 33/11KV, 2 X 15MVA substation to provide dedicated grid power supply to the state-owned Victor Attah International Airport with a dedicated 33kv line from Ibom Tropicana. In addition, when the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), energised 132/33KV electricity transformers in Calabar and Lagos, Governor Emmanuel collaborated with TCN to commission a 132/33KV, 1 x 60MVA transformer at Afaha Ube in Uyo. This 60MVA transformer increased the state’s available power for distribution from 96megawatts to 144 megawatts. According to the Governor’s aide on power, Engr. Meyen Etukudo, the upgraded substation provides steady power to ten local government areas in the state including Uyo, Ikot Ekpene, Essien Udim, Obot Akara, Ini, Ikono, Ibiono, Etinan, Abak and Ukanafun. TCN, the sole electricity transporter and link between generation companies and distribution companies in Nigeria, lauded the Governor for the partnership, which they said aligned with the incremental power policy of the Federal Government (FG). Not done, Udom Emmanuel, again, collaborated with TCN and entered into an agreement to build a 132/33KV, 2 x 60MVA transmission substation at Ekim in Mkpat Enin Local Government Area. The last time a transmission substation was constructed in Akwa Ibom state was twenty years ago. As part of activities to celebrate the state’s 32nd anniversary, the Governor invited Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo to commission Ekim 132/33KV, 1 x 60MVA substation. The substation, which receives power from the stateowned Ibom Power Plant, has 33kv dedicated lines to Onna industrial hub, the location of Jubilee Syringe factory, King Flour Mills, Metering Solutions Manufacturing Services and the plywood industry. It also provides steady power supply to Akwa Ibom State University and five local government areas including Onna, Mkpat Enin, Ikot Abasi, Eastern Obolo and Orukanam. In addition, Akwa Ibom State Government has secured a 30MVA transformer for the proposed construction of the Ikot Abasi substation. In spite of these investments in the last 7 years, some residents of the state decried the total blackout or epileptic power supply in their areas. The outage was due to the privatization of power distribution assets and Federal Government’s total control of power transmission, as Akwa Ibom State government did not have much say on the assets’ utilization. With this new approval, Akwa Ibom is set to independently manage its power resources and distribute them effectively. #Dakkada #CompletionAgenda #Arise Ilaumoh: 2 Likes |
