The Nigerian government has expressed the desire to re-stream the 215MW Kaduna power plant, partner with Greenville LNG Plant to ensure that the Kaduna Power plants run on its Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
The Minister of State, for Power, Mr Goddy Jeddy Agba made this known while on a facility tour of the Greenville plant and Dufil Prima Foods in Port Harcourt. Agba who expressed the confidence that the Federal Government would be interested in partnering with Greenville, said considering the fact that the supply from their end is huge enough to supply the need of the power plant in Kano and also Kaduna.
The minister promised the management of Greenville that he would bring up the matter at this week’s Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting by sharing his thoughts with the President and other council members on the need to encourage the use of the Greenville LNG for the two power plants.
‘‘If we have these two plants powered by this facility, we are good to go. It will help in power generation, which is government’s priority. With the supply from here, power supply would improve. Kaduna power plant could use LNG from here which would be on a willing buyer, willing seller arrangement.
“It’s an important facility to invest in and can supply the power needs of the country. We would patronise Greenville to the best of our ability if they keep to the terms of agreements, so hopefully we are in partnership,” he said.
