Abubakar Aliyu, minister of power has said that Kashimbila Power Project will be inaugurated in December this year.
The minister stated this on Tuesday when he appeared before the senate committee on power for defense of 2022 budget estimate of his ministry.
According to him, the 40 megawatts power project will start operation after its inauguration in the second week of December.
Kashimbila Hydro Power Plant, which is located in Taraba State, when completed, will provide electricity to several communities in the country.
It will cater for power needs of about 80% of Taraba State south senatorial district and also serve as corridor for the evacuation of power from the 3, 050MW Mambilla Hydropower Plant.
Aside from providing stable electricity, the project will create employment for residents in the region.
The minister noted that the N10 billion owed contractors has been paid.
Conflict Reporting is dangerous and risky. Our reporters constantly face life-threatening challenges, sometimes surviving ambushes, kidnap attempts and attacks by the whiskers as they travel and go into communities to get authentic and firsthand information. But we dare it every day, nonetheless, in order to keep you informed of the true situation of the victims, the trends in the conflicts and ultimately help in peace building processes. But these come at huge cost to us. We are therefore appealing to you to help our cause by donating to us through any of the following means. You can also donate working tools, which are even more primary to our work. We thank you sincerely as you help our cause.
