The Niger Delta Power Holding Company Limited (NDPHC) has commenced a major electricity infrastructure project aimed at ending a 15-year blackout in Rigasa community, Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.<\/p>\n

The project, facilitated by the Bola Ahmed Tinubu Ideological Group (BAT-IG), comprises a two-kilometre 11kV line, a 1.5-kilometre 33kV line and a 7.5MVA, 33\/11kV injection substation designed to strengthen electricity distribution and improve power supply to residents and businesses.<\/p>\n

A statement by General Manager, Corporate Communication and External Relations, Nazo AGIM on Saturday explained that the project reached a major milestone on Friday with a groundbreaking ceremony performed by Kaduna State Deputy Governor, Dr. Hadiza Sabuwa Balarabe, who represented Governor Uba Sani.<\/p>\n

Balarabe commended NDPHC for the intervention, describing it as a life-saving initiative that would address the community\u2019s longstanding electricity challenges.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, NDPHC Managing Director\/Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Jennifer Adighije, reaffirmed the company\u2019s commitment to ending the community\u2019s prolonged electricity crisis.<\/p>\n

Represented by the Executive Director, Networks, Engr. Bello Babayo Bello, Adighije reiterated NDPHC\u2019s commitment to supporting President Bola Ahmed Tinubu\u2019s vision of improving electricity supply across the country.<\/p>\n

She explained that although NDPHC\u2019s primary mandate is power generation, its interventions also extend to transmission and distribution infrastructure to address critical gaps and expand electricity access.<\/p>\n

According to her, the Rigasa project represents a worthwhile investment that would ease residents\u2019 hardship and demonstrate the impact of targeted infrastructure development in underserved communities.<\/p>\n

The intervention followed sustained advocacy by BAT-IG Convener, Comrade Bamidele Atoyebi, who repeatedly brought the community\u2019s electricity challenges to the attention of NDPHC management, leading to the company\u2019s commitment to the project.<\/p>\n

Also speaking, NDPHC Executive Director, Strategy and Commercial, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, expressed appreciation to the Kaduna State Government and the community for their cooperation and support for the project.<\/p>\n

On his part, District Head of Rigasa, Hakimi Arc. Mohammed Aminu Idris, also commended NDPHC\u2019s management for its commitment to expanding electricity access in the community.<\/p>\n

Other dignitaries at the ceremony included Senator Shehu Sani, Managing Director\/Chief Executive Officer of Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company, Dr. Umar Abubakar Hashidu, NDPHC General Manager, Distribution, Engr. Dahiru Muritala Mohammed and Atoyebi, alongside government officials, industry stakeholders and community representatives.<\/p>\n
