Abia State Governor, Dr. Alex Otti, has announced that the state is finalising a deal with the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) to assume control of electricity supply in eight local government areas currently outside the coverage of Geometric Power.
The move is part of a broader plan to achieve full electricity autonomy and enhance industrial growth across the state.
The disclosure was contained in a statement signed by Ukoha Njoku Ukoha, Chief Press Secretary to the Executive Governor of Abia State, on Thursday.
