Electricity: Obiano Inaugurates 15MVA/7.5 Injection Station in Awka

The Governor of Anambra state, Willie Obiano, on Sunday, 16th June,  inaugurated the newly constructed ABS 15MVA and 7.5 MVA injection substation at Awka done by his administration in partnership with Enugu Electricity Distribution Company.


The governor also inaugurated another upgraded 15 MVA and 7.5 MVA injection substation at Agu-Awka.

This project has two feeders designed to ensure improved power supply to residents of the State.

Inaugurating the project, Governor Willie Obiano said his government embarked on the project, having identified the importance of electricity to the socio-economic development of the State and the growth of businesses and industries.

"There are a lot of things our people can achieve if there's constant power supply especially in the areas of industrialization and ICT. This was the reason my government had invested and is investing in improving power supply in the State."

Gov. Obiano also said he has directed the State Physical planning Board to pull down any structure erected under the power lines. The directive, he said, is not only to guarantee safety of lives but also to safeguard electricity infrastructure.
