Bauchi State
Governor, Isa Yuguda, says the construction of the 120 megawatts Yankari power
plant would start in two months.
The governor said
this when the management team of SINOMAC, a Chinese energy and gas company, led
by Ibrahim Jidda, Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on Energy,
visited him in Bauchi.Power Plant
He said that the
power plant, which is expected to run on gas, will be constructed by China
Mechanical and Equipment Company (CMEC), adding that all arrangements had been
made for the project to commence.
Yuguda said that
the construction of the plant had become imperative as part of the state
government’s efforts to revamp the tourism sector via the improvement of the
revenue potential of the Yankari Game Reserve.
Yuguda commended
the team for the visit, saying that the company’s presence in the state would
be beneficial as part of efforts to get gas to run the power plant when
completed.
He said that the
environmentally friendly energy plant would also provide employment
opportunities for unemployed youths in the state.
Responding, Jiddah
said that the company was in the state to seek partnerships on socio-economic
development projects, particularly in the area of providing cheap sources of
energy for automobiles and domestic use.
