What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Industries in cities including Kaduna, Kano, Lagos, and Onitsha have struggled or shut down due to inadequate electricity supply, which has driven up production costs and made life difficult for households. In contrast, the Aba Integrated Power Project, owned by Geometric Power, is providing reliable electricity to businesses and households in Aba, Abia State. This investment, which exceeded $900 million, allows manufacturers in Aba to maintain uninterrupted production and enables traders to extend working hours.
