Obasanjo commissions power line in Kano
By
ADAMU ABDULLAHI
A MULTI-MILLION dollar 132KV double circuit transmission line
for energy supply project has been commissioned in Kano by the
President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo.
Commissioning the project, Chief Obasanjo said the project was
designed to transform the lives of the people in the three
states directly affected by the project.
President Obasanjo noted that the civilian administration in the
country inherited a multiple of problems in the power sector,
explaining that there were no investments or any effort to
improve power supply and distribution prior to 1999 when the
civilian administration came in the country.
He said his administration has built and commissioned 11 new
power plants in the country, noting that the target is to
provide additional 20,000 megawatts by 2015.
