For the South Western part of the Country, the expansion project will only be done in Lagos/ Ogun.

The Power Station in Alaoji to Onitsha, the Delta Power Station to Benin and Kadunna to Kano will all be optimized.


Also 330kv to DC 62km line between Birnin Kebbi and Kamba will be rehabilitated and improved.

Stable electricity will aid so many positive things in the country ranging for more job creations and more online creativity by youths.
