Dear friends in the power sector.

There is a fake news on several media houses. Including Thisday, Vanguard, Arise TV and some more about an explosion in Zungeru. This is a wicked lie. We are fine in Zungeru nothing happened and we are on the Grid.

Please disregard this hate news. We are doing a video rebuttal soon.

The time is 3:05 Monday 1st July, 2024.

Siraj Abdullahi
Executive Director

FAKE REPORT ALERT
We wish to respond that there is no report of any kind of explosion at Zungeru Dam, as reported by some online media, we urge members of the public to kindly disregard please. Thanks for your usual cooperation and understanding with the Police and other security

SP Wasiu Abiodun

PRESS STATEMENT

Fake News of an Explosion at Zungeru Hydro Power Plant
The fake news concerning an explosion at the Zungeru Hydropower Plant with resulting casualties published in newspapers on July 1, 2024, and circulated on social media has been brought to our attention.

We wish to express our strong objection to this false and mischievous report categorically stating that no such incident occurred. This report is not only false but also highly irresponsible and insensitive, given the pervasive nature of insecurity issues in Nigeria.

The implications of such a misleading report are severe and far-reaching creating unnecessary panic among our investors, partners, staff, and their families. This can potentially destabilize the confidence and trust that we have painstakingly built over the years.

The Board and Management of the Zungeru Hydro Power Plant seeks to reassure the public that the Zungeru Hydropower Plant is intact and continues to power Nigerian homes and businesses after successfully concluding a 15-day test run which remarkably boosted power supply tothe grid.

Signed

Toh

Fake news is now ruling in Nigeria, the main suppliers of fake news are now in power, what will you expect than more fake news to distract the masses from the planned suffering waiting for them.

I even wonder why they try to dispel the fake news, the government of today is a fake news.

The truth is, the only way to know something happened is to be there live and direct. This story may be a cover-up. I am not there to conclude if it’s true or not. I will take whatever the media reports.

We all know them.Same people said Buhari died a long time ago and Jibril of Sudan replaced him.

As per dealing with the culprits, Can you deal with over 30 million people? The best you can do is ignore them.

Not only the source all media houses are to verify before publishing such news. All in the name of Breaking News there want to destabilize the country.

Imagine how shocked so many people would have been hearing such news. Our media houses are irresponsible.

Even Seun of Nairaland cannot verify before posting. But if he wants to talk about tribal calling and Islam oath taking you will see him doing due diligence and foaming from his gutter mouth. Shame on you all for spreading such news without checking up from the appropriate authorities.

Nigerian media has lost it compeletely, unfortunately, the conventional media who should uphold the principles of credible journalism seemed to have sacrificed integrity for cheap monetary gains. The quest to latch unto fake news and propaganda from social media handles is becoming very concerning. They seem to have to lost the principle of verifying whatever story from the source before running with it.
Just this morning, they reported an airforce plane crash in Kaduna but if they had verified, they would have been informed it wasn't a plane but a drone.
