Public Affairs Analyst Backs Ned Nwoko’s Bid to Boost Electricity in Delta
Victory Oghene, a public affairs analyst, has supported Senator Ned Nwoko’s call for the Delta State Government to manage the Okpai Power Plant. The plant, with a 980MW capacity, has failed to provide adequate electricity to host communities.
Nwoko urged Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to ensure the plant benefits the state. Oghene emphasized effective management would alleviate Delta residents’ suffering.
Experts agree that state government intervention is necessary, citing the Electricity Power Sector Reform Act 2005. This law entitles host communities to benefit from energy projects on their land.
Nwoko’s proposal involves implementing the Electricity Act 2023 and partnering with investors through Public-Private Partnerships.
