Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Mallam Mele Kyari has joined the Governor of Borno State, Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum to perform the Groundbreaking Ceremony of the Maiduguri & Environs Emergency Power Project (MEPP).

The ceremony officially marks the commencement of the construction of a 50-megawatt gas turbine power plant expected to generate electricity to the city of Maiduguri, Borno State, and environs.

The MEPP is a Federal Government intervention strategy aimed at tackling the perpetual power outage in Maiduguri, caused mostly by the incessant vandalism of critical power infrastructure by insurgents in the State.
