Developments Across Africa by Daverytimes(m): 2:48pm On Jul 03, 2019
We need a thread where we can post the different developments happening across the continent, whether it be infrastructural, educational, business e.t.c. I was initially going to make the thread only on Nigeria but it is very evident that we have a diverse community here on nairaland, so making the thread on developments across the continent seems to be the better option.

Also, this thread is not meant to be used for arguments. We as Africans are in the sewer, arguing on who is cleanest does not make any sense.

Anyways I guess I will start.


Zungeru hydropower project is a 700MW hydroelectric facility being built with Chinese assistance on the upper and middle reaches of Kaduna River in the Niger State of Nigeria.

The Federal Ministry of Power and Steel of Nigeria is the owner and implementing authority of the project.

Estimated to cost $1.3bn, Zungeru is the biggest hydropower project under construction in Nigeria. It is also one of the biggest power projects in Africa.

The Zungeru project is estimated to generate 2.64 billion kWh of electricity a year, which will meet close to 10% of Nigeria’s total domestic energy needs. Apart from electricity generation, the project also intends to provide flood control, irrigation, as well as water supply and fish breeding facilities.

Commissioning of the dam will take place in 2021

Great idea but let's also think about the flip side of the coin:Foreign hostile forces will have a shortcut to knowing what to sabotage in Africa .
Remember how and why Botswana that was once a promising and striving country in Africa was struck and crippled by HIV.

Foreign forces do not need posts on the internet to find out about potential targets, even if they did these projects are already in the public domain and us posting it here makes zero difference. Our job is to bring these projects to the attention of the wider world that is ignorant of what developments are occurring in the continent and how quickly we are moving forward despite the challenges we face. Many Nigerians I know are unaware of the developments happening in our own country, the same for most countries in Africa. Its threads like this in popular African forums that will bring those projects to light and hopefully instill some pride in the citizens of those countries.
