Electricity: Northern Govs To Build Off Grid Solar Plants – El-Rufai Governor Nasir El-Rufai has disclosed that the Northern States Governors’ Forum has incorporated a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to build 100MW solar plants across the 19 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). El-Rufai further disclosed that the SPV will have an initial total capacity of 2,000MW, that may be expanded to 4,000MW. The governor added that Kaduna state has already provided the land for its own 100MW solar farm to be developed under this initiative, in addition to 10 other northern states. According to El-Rufai, these 2,000MW are expected to be mostly off-grid to avoid over-burdening Nigeria’s perennially national weak transmission network. El-Rufai who spoke on Nigeria’s power sector at the 9th edition of the Nigeria Energy Conference held in Lagos on Wednesday, disclosed that Kaduna, Lagos and Edo states are drafting legislation for a state electricity regulator. The governor said that Kaduna st...

WE ARE NOT TALKING OF A SEAPORT BUT ACCESS TO THE SEA, SAYS IMO GOVT  Imo State government yesterday clarified that it was not building a sea port but partnering with the federal government for the dredging of the Orashi River to open it up to the Atlantic ocean. The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon Declan Emelumba in a statement in Owerri, said the explanation has become necessary following various interpretation of the project by many interest groups.  According to him, Governor Hope Uzodimma never talked about sea port at Oguta or Orashi, but harped on the economic benefits of dredging the river up to the Atlantic ocean.  He added that the governor could not have talked of a seaport in Imo State when there is no sea in the State, adding that what the governor was emphasising was having access to the sea through the dredging of existing waterways. Emelumba said, "after an inspection tour of the area, Uzodimma specifically told reporters that he went with ...
