    The Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, says the Zungeru Hydroelectric Power Plant in Niger State, has injected 700 Mega Watts, MW, to the National Grid to boost electricity.

    Aliyu stated this during a farewell party for him and the Minister of State, Goddy Jedy-Agba by the Ministry of Power on Friday in Abuja.

    He said: “Today the Zungeru Hydroelectric Power Plant has become a reality; we have as of today joined the grid with 700MW. Testing started Wednesday night.

    “Information has reached us with the pictorial view of the meters showing us that the 700MW has gone on the grid.”

    The minister said that the Kashimbila Hydroelectric Power Project, a joint project with the Ministry of water resources, had been completed.

    “We have 10 of them at the port and the first one is in Ajah sub-station and some are also on the sea coming,” he said.
