As a matter of urgency Kebbi State Government has called on the Kaduna Electricity Company (KDECO) to write an apology letter to the Kebbi State Government and Federal Government for commissioning projects that was not executed by the company in Arugungu Local Government Areas of the State.
Speaking to newsmen on behalf of the State Government yesterday in his office in Birnin Kebbi, the Special Adviser to the Governor on Power Alhaji Yusuf Haruna said that 7.5MVA transformer project was done by the Federal Government through the National Integrated Power Projects and Kebbi Government, while the project was commissioned by the KEDCO this week without final handing over to the Government.
“The project was executed by NIPP not the KEDECO while the company went ahead to commission it without the knowledge of the State Government, because the KEDCO boss is from Arugungu.”
