The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), Jennifer Adighije, has said that the company was taking steps to address previous delays in the 570mw Alaoji Power Plant, stressing that the NDPHC has a new completion target of Q3, 2027.
Speaking when she took the the leadership of the House of Representatives Committee on Power on a tour of the plant in Abia state, Adighije explained that the management of NDPHC had compelled the contractor to submit a revised recovery plan to ensure timely completion of the project,
“Previously we experienced some slippages, and we had to compel the contractor to come up with a recovery plan, which they have now done. Initially we had envisaged that the project would be completed by the end of this year, but clearly that is not possible. With the revised schedule, we are now working towards completion by the third quarter of 2027,” Adighije said.
