NNPC Goes Into Power and Fertilizer
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on December 21, 2017, 6:48 AMNNPC plans to build a 4,600 MW total power capacity that will technically equal the total present capacity in Nigeria. It also wants to invest in fertilizer production. Both would be under a public private partnership.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on Wednesday announced that it would build power generating plants with combined capacity for 4,600 megawatts in Abuja, Kaduna and Kano states. It said the resolve to invest in the power plants was due to the recently approved contract for the construction of the Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Gas Pipeline, also known as the AKK Pipeline.
The only information missing here is the deadline for this project. That would have helped if that information was provided. An extra 4,600 MW would certainly add more power to the economy. With private sectors working with NNPC on this, the implication is that it could be scaled further.
