In a groundbreaking speech at the launch of the South East Business Roundtable's "Light up Nigeria Program," Vice President Kassim Shettima emphasized the pivotal role of the South East in Nigeria's overall prosperity, asserting that the nation's success hinges on the region's optimal industrialization and access to adequate power supply.
Drawing parallels between the South East and the industrially vibrant Jewish community, Shettima underscored the importance of economic enterprise and educational ambition in driving regional development. He revealed his firm stance against cutting off electricity supply to the South East due to debt concerns, emphasizing President Bola Tinubu's commitment to national unity and progress.
Governor Peter Mbah of Enugu State echoed Shettima's sentiments, highlighting the transformative potential of the "Light-Up Nigeria Project" in fostering power and industrialization in the region.
The Managing Director/CEO of NDPHC, Engr. Chinedu Ugbo, outlined the challenges faced by the power sector and outlined the strategic collaboration between NDPHC and other stakeholders to address these issues and provide reliable electricity supply to industrial and business clusters across Nigeria.
