Mambilla: FG releases N1.2bn for survey, sensitisation

2bn to the Taraba State Government for different tasks ahead of the final take-off of work on the 3,050 megawatts Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project.

Officials at the Federal Ministry of Power told our correspondent that about N700m was first released for survey works on the project site, while additional N500m was paid to the state for sensitisation of host communities. Mamman, who tweeted some of the highlights of the Wednesday meeting via his official Twitter handle, stated that the Federal Government and Taraba State discussed how to speed up work on the project.

The 3,050MW Mambilla project had faced series of setbacks over time, as The PUNCH reported exclusively on July 21, 2020 that the Federal Government was awaiting the comprehensive list of those who own the land where the plant is to be sited so as to begin the payment of compensation. He said, “There was supposed to be sensitisation, for which the Federal Ministry of Power also released over N500m.

Asked if the ministry had reminded the state government on the need to make the compensation list available, Artimas explained that in December last year the state was contacted for a stakeholders meeting.
