The APC Presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) has promised one million jobs to Igbo youths by revamping the coal deposits in Enugu state, which will be used for electricity generation.
Speaking through Osita Okechukwu, a party representative, Buhari promised the Igbo people that he would award the contract for the project as soon as he gets into office and avoid PDP's mistakes of allegedly squandering N2bn which was voted for the coal project between 2012 and 2014.
“We are banking on huge coal deposits located at Amasiodo, Inyi and Leje axis of Enugu Coal belt.
“We are going to award contract for mining and construction of coal-fired-power-plant unlike PDP that since 1999 promised to revamp the coal fields and 16 years after, nothing has been done.
“We believe that coal is the most abundant fossil fuel in Enugu State and Enugu Coal is one of the most qualitative Coal brand in the world, which means that while some are used to generate electricity, some will be exported,” he said.
