Governor Otti should see this through. If Abia gets it right, together with Anambra, it can become the new headquarters of Igbo trade. Alaba will easily be relocated so that “Yoruba Ronu” people can use the land to build BRT park like they’ve been longing to do. 8 Likes |

Ogene001: Read this news from yesterday about geometric power. They have started generating power starting with one out of four turbines. This is a big deal. Geometric Power Plant to add 188MW to national grid By Sulaimon Salau 09 July 2023 | 3:44 am Electricity generation in the country is on the verge of receiving a boost as Geometric Power Plant in Aba, Abia State, is set to add 188 megawatts (MW) to the national grid in the next two months. The Group Chairman, Geometric Power, Prof. Barth Nnaji, who is also a former Minister of Power, disclosed this in a statement, saying the plant would start operations with one of its four General Electric brand turbines. He added that the second would come on stream once the performance of the first turbine is declared satisfactory by the team of engineers led by KSE Energy of Turkey and a former Executive Director of the defunct National Electric Power Authority (NEPA), Ben Caven, reputed to be the only person to have run the generation, engineering and transmission divisions of the Authority before it was privatised. https://guardian.ng/business-services/geometric-power-plant-to-add-188mw-to-national-grid/ 1 Like |
