The Head, Corporate Communications, Sahara Group, Bethel Obioma, disclosed this in a Statement issued last Thursday.

According to the statement, the plant’s performance reflects Sahara Group’s commitment to bringing energy to life responsibly, ensuring reliable power for homes, communities, and businesses nationwide.

The Group Managing Director, Sahara Power Group, Dr. Kola Adesina, described the milestone as an attestation to Sahara’s top-notch human capital and unwavering vision of lighting up Africa.

Adesina stated that the ramp-up to 160MW at Afam 2 was made possible by recent improvements in gas supply and ongoing infrastructure upgrades, enabling the plant to optimize its output in line with national demand.

“It is noteworthy that this achievement was recorded with zero downtime incidents, reflecting the expertise and technical excellence of the team on the ground. We are proud of the team and our collective achievement,” he said.
