    The project, executed under the Federal Government’s Integrated Power
    Projects (IPP) scheme, achieved substantial success because of the
    tremendous commitment shown by the state government to it’s success, a
    General Manager in the firm, Alhaji Muhammad Bunza, has said.

    “The N3.3 billion expenditure has resulted in the construction of
    three power substations in three locations in different parts of the
    state. The locations are Gagi and Farfaru in Sokoto metropolis and
    Tambuwal LGA in the southern part of the state,” he added.

    Speaking when he conducted Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal round the
    facilities, Bunza said each substation has the capacity to carry
    500kva transformer which will in turn sustain 25 transformers that
    will serve approximately 200 households.

    He said the three projects are expected to come on stream in the next
    three months, and will increase power supply in the state.

    While thanking Tambuwal for his concern and determination to see to
    the completion of the projects on time, Bunza said the NDPHC will
    continue with it’s mandate to ensure Nigeria becomes self-sufficient
    in power generation, and distribution.

    In his remarks, the Governor said the significance of the projects
    towards increase in power output in the state cannot be
    overemphasized.

    “It becomes very important to build such substations because the usage
    of power has increased in Sokoto in recent years. We are appealing to
    the Federal Government to also consider building more stations in
    Illela, Kilgori, Moore, Kalambaina and other districts in Eastern and
    Southern parts of the state,” he added.
