Shettima To Flag Off South East Light Up Initiative in Enugu February 26

Nigeria’s Vice President Kashim Shettima will on Monday, February 26, 2024  launch the Light Up South East Initiative to accelerate power supply to industrial clusters in the zone. 

According to a release issued on Friday by presidential spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, the event billed to hold in Enugu, the Enugu State capital, is in continuation of the ongoing efforts to improve energy supply to industrial clusters across the country. 

The project, a collaboration between the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited (NDPHC) and its partners, will feature key stakeholders in the nation’s power sector. 

A key highlight of the Vice President’s engagement in Enugu on Monday will be the South East Business Roundtable featuring top government officials and business leaders deliberating on delivering reliable and sustainable power to industrial and residential areas in the region. 

Shettima had on October 12, 2023 flagged off the initiative in the South West at the Agbara Industrial Cluster, with stakeholders committing to the successful implementation of the project across the country.

The Tinubu administration had from onset committed to revamping Nigeria’s Infrastructure framework with the much-needed drive in empowering Nigerians and strengthening the nation’s economic policies. 

Also on the same day, the Vice President will inaugurate the 181-megawatt Geometric Power plant in the Osisioma Industrial Layout, Aba, Abia State.
