Vice President-elect, Gov Zulum, receive Buhari in Maiduguri

By: Atiku Galadima, Maiduguri

Governor Babagana Zulum of Borno State and vice president-elect Kashim Shettima received President Muhammadu Buhari in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital. 

Buhari was accompanied by Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mele Kyari, former Governor of Borno State, Senator Ali Modu Shariff, and Minister of humanitarian affairs, Sadiya Umar Farouq, among other dignitaries. 

Earlier, Tribune Online reported that President Buhari would visit Maiduguri to inaugurate the newly constructed 50 megawatts gas power plant. 

The gas plant was constructed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.

The Maiduguri Emergency Power Project (MEPP) is a power generation project to provide reliable and sustainable electricity to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, and its environs.

The Project was necessitated by the extended power outages experienced in the region in the last nine years. 

These outages were caused by vandalism and insurgency attacks on power supply infrastructure and have resulted in a decline in economic activities in the region.
