Cross River State Governor, Professor Ben Ayade, has stated that he is optimistic that a combined power generation from the two power plants built by his administration will add 50 megawatts of electricity capable of providing the state capital, Calabar, with steady supply even without being linked to the national grid.
The governor said when completed, the gas required for powering of the station would be tapped with an eight-inch pipe from a distance of less than 7 kilometres. He said he was delighted that 90 percent of the project is complete, and that the first firing demonstration of the gas-powered electricity generating plant is scheduled for December this year.
He said: “According to the UNCHR, Boko Haram and other non-state armed groups as well as clashes between herders and farmers have pushed over three million Nigerians as of November 2021 out of their homes, especially in some parts of North-east Nigeria and the Middle Belt, and increasingly also in North-west region. The protracted crises in this region have resulted in conflict-induced food insecurity and severe malnutrition.
