The governor said, “looking at the technical details of this project and its benefits, an upgrade from 2.5MVA to 7.5MVA, I believe it will address two critical areas of concern to our administration in this corridor.
” This is another landmark achievement in the power sector. There is no gainsaying the fact that power supply is very significant to our individual and national lives.
“Nigeria has had a long history of problematic public power supply but when the APC government came on board, we promised to change the narrative through massive infrastructural development.
“Access to adequate electricity in educational facilities like Rufus Giwa Polytechnic. It will also increase economic activities on campus and its environs,” he said.
