The Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) Ltd, handling the 330/132/33KV sub-station in Lafia, Nasarawa State says it will complete the project by September.
Mr Ifealuwa Oyedele, Executive Director Network of NDPHC made the disclosure on Thursday in Lafia while on inspection visit to access the progress of work at the sub-station.
The executive director expressed satisfaction with the progress and quality of work at the sub-station.
He said the project was one of the legacy projects of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration, adding that the company had maintained its original design.
Oyedele said the company was supposed to deliver the project before now, but had a little delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic that ravaged the world.
He explained that the company had carried out more than 90 per cent work on the project and was putting finishing touches to hook up the sub-station to the national grid.
“By September, the company would have completed the hook up to the national grid and the inauguration will take place as soon as the President approves a date,” he added.
Oyedele further said all stakeholders in the power sector were working together to see the completion of the project.
He said when completed, distribution companies (Discos) would then connect and distribute the light to electricity consumers in Nasarawa State and environs.
He explained that the project would facilitate rapid growth in socio-economic activities in the state and attract foreign investors who would create jobs that would eventually change the standard of living of residents.
