FG Reassures On Increased Power Generation
As part of efforts to achieve the 6000 megawatts (MW) target of electricity supply by December this year, the Federal Government is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the challenges militating against achieving the target are addressed. Odein Ajumogobia, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, stated this during a recent inspection and facility tour of the Okoloma Gas Plant, the Afam Power Plant in Rivers State being built by Shell Petroleum. Ajumogobia stressed that the problem of fluctuation in the electricity grid which causes power outages and damages to power plant would be addressed to ensure steady and sustained power supply. The minister reiterated government’s aspiration to generate 10,000 MW this year adding that, government is also looking at providing adequate electricity for the citizens and for industrial capacity utilisation in the immediate future. On the issue of gas flare, Ajumogobia emphasised the determination and commitment of government towards achieving this despite the challenges facing its realisation. He further explained that government is working to put in place necessary gas infrastructure that would encourage companies to utilise gas resources as an alternative approach to addressing the problem of gas flare.
