In a bid to find a lasting solution to this challenge and improve the quality of life in the area, President Buhari intervened in April 2021, directing the Management of NNPC Ltd to restore power supply to the city of Maiduguri and its environs. To achieve this mandate, the NNPC Limited, following engagements with the Borno State Government, therefore, embarked on building a 50-Megawatt gas-fired power plant in Maiduguri.
Some key milestones in the MEP Project included the historic groundbreaking ceremony for the project on September 30, 2021 and the issuance of a 50mw power generating licence to the NNPC Limited by the Ministry of Power, under the leadership of Engr. Abubakar D. Aliyu on November 25, 2022 Maiduguri Monday market was on Sunday struck by a fire outbreak, burning down the entire market. Shops and goods worth billions of naira were destroyed.
Father of lies and deceit.
These people are not serious; how can you situate has power where there is no gas around? militants will be bursting the pipes
