President Bola Tinubu has inaugurated the 180-megawatt Afam II Power Plant in Rivers State, which was completed in 16 months, as a significant addition to the national grid and a vital step towards stable electricity supply. 


The President, who inaugurated the project virtually from Abuja, emphasized the importance of stable and affordable electricity in every Nigerian household and reiterated his administration's commitment to achieving reliable power supply across the country.


President Tinubu said the project, which is expected to stimulate economic growth, promote job creation, and support industrial development, demonstrates the potential for private sector involvement in Nigeria's energy sector and positions Rivers State as a viable destination for large-scale investments. 



He commended Sahara Power Group and its partners for their strategic investments in Nigeria's power infrastructure and praised the Rivers Government for its enabling role in facilitating the project.


Earlier, Sahara Power Group's Group Managing Director, Dr. Kola Adesina, highlighted the company's commitment to delivering long-term, sustainable energy solutions to Nigerians.
