The Ekiti State Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with an electricity generation firm, Fen-Church Power Nigeria Limited, to build three megawatts substations in order to stabilise electricity supply in the state.

The power generation concept under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) was arranged in such a way that the firm would build the power plants and generate electricity that would be sold to the state for consumption.

Speaking after the signing of the MoU yesterday, the state Commissioner for Public Utilities, Bamidele Faparusi, said the project is expected to be delivered in August 2021, and that it was conceptualised to halt sole dependence on the national grid for electricity generation.
