Nigerian Minister of Power, Engr. Sale Mamman has maintained that the Muhammadu Buhari’s administration will deliver an uninterrupted power supply to Nigeria when all major power projects are completed before the end of its tenure.
The Minister stated this after inspection of the 215 MW Kaduna Power Plant, 132/33KV Kudenda Substation and Mando transmission line in Kaduna at the weekend.
Mamman who was in the company of the Minister of State, Mr. Goddy Jedy Agba, said aside from increasing generation capacity, the Kudenda Substation would be providing voltage support to Kaduna, Kano, and Jos, which would improve the quality of electricity distributed to the public.
In a statement by Aaron Artimas, his Special Adviser on Communication and Strategy, Mamman who expressed satisfaction with the level and quality of work done on the projects, warned contractors against any delay in completion of the projects.

“We are here to inspect the level of work done on the project and i can tell you that i am very sure Nigerians, particularly those in Kaduna, Kano, Jos and environment would begin to enjoy not only stable but quality power supply, when these projects are fully completed and put into use,” he said.
He reiterated the commitment of the Buhari-led administration to achieve its mandate of economic growth and development, as well as job creation in the country.
The Minister of State, Agba on his part, said they are taking stock of the progress of all power projects across the country, stressing their commitment to ensuring that all projects are delivered according to its contracts timeline.
