The House of Representatives has called on Vice President Kashim Shettima to summon an emergency meeting for the urgent resuscitation of the Gbarain Power Plant in Bayelsa State to enhance the efficiency of the national grid. Shettima doubles as the Chairman of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company Board. The resolution of the House followed the adoption of a motion moved at plenary on Thursday by Hon. Oboku Oforji.
He noted that the State Government also undertook the rehabilitation and restoration of power supply through the 60MVA,132/33KV power transformer which is currently supplying the Gbarain Power Station auxiliaries and the host communities through the 2×15 MVA33/11KV injection substation, which was not functioning before the intervention.
