The MEPP project was commissioned last year by ex-President Mohammed Buhari.
The power project aims to provide stable and sustainable electricity to Maiduguri and its environs.
BusinessDay reports that NNPC disclosed that nine years of constant power outages necessitated the MEPP project.
“These outages, caused by vandalism and insurgency attacks on power supply infrastructure, had resulted in a decline in economic activities in the region,” NNPC said.
NNPC crashes petrol prices
Meanwhile, the state oil firm has crashed petrol prices by N20 in Abuja.
Checks reveal that NNPC retail outlets sold petrol to motorists at N1,040 per litre instead of the previous rate of N1,060.
Petrol station attendants and motorists confirmed the N20 price slash, saying the new price became effective on Saturday, December 14, 2024/
With the new reduction, Nigerians will pay N20 less at N1,040 per litre at NNPC filling stations, while other stations, depending on the location, sell above N1,100.
