Olusegun Obasanjo, a former president of Nigeria, has reiterated his faith in Nigeria’s capacity to forge its own route to prosperity, claiming that the nation has all the material and people resources required for greatness.
Speaking on Monday at the Geometric Power Plant’s new substation opening in Ogbor Hill, Aba, Abia State, Obasanjo said he was motivated by his belief in Nigeria’s indigenous capacity to run the power firm to grant Prof. Barth Nnaji a licence.
He commended Geometric Power’s accomplishments, calling them evidence that, given the chance, Nigerians are capable of completing challenging tasks.
“When I was giving you the encouragement, two people came to me to ask why I was giving Nigerians such responsibility, that they would disappoint me. You have not disappointed me and you did not disappoint all those, including everyone that supported you to realise this project,”
“The lesson to learn again here, within ourselves, among ourselves, and by ourselves, is that we have what it takes to develop,” he said
Alex Otti, the governor of Abia State, reaffirmed in his speech the administration’s resolve to tackle the power supply issues.
In order to guarantee a more dependable supply, he revealed that the state government was finalising plans to take over management of the Enugu energy Distribution Company’s(EEDC).
Speaking as well, Nnaji, the Chairman and CEO of Geometric electricity, explained that the development of a reliable electricity environment in Aba will require foresight, tenacity, and calculated investment. He gave thanks to Otti for his support and to Obasanjo for bringing forward the notion.
