Reps move to revive abandoned Akwa Ibom power project

The National Assembly has pledged to collaborate with the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to address funding challenges and community concerns that have delayed the completion of the abandoned 330kV Double Circuit Ikot Ekpene–Ikot Abasi Transmission Line Project in Akwa Ibom State. Lawmakers conducted an inspection of the project site, engaging with NDPHC officials, the engineering firm Anita Energy, and local community leaders. The project, which has been stalled for over six years despite significant public investment, is considered a crucial national asset that could enhance electricity supply, strengthen the national grid, and stimulate economic growth in Akwa Ibom and surrounding regions. The House of Representatives Committee on Public Assets emphasized the importance of completing the project to ensure public investments yield tangible benefits for Nigerian citizens.
