Nasarawa State Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura yesterday said his administration was making arrangement for a public private partnership to complete the abandoned multi-billion naira Farin Ruwa Hydro Power project.
Consequently, he said the Nasarawa government was to reinforce security in the power plant located in Wamba Local Government Area of the state.
The governor stated this when he led police commissioner and director of State Security Services for on-the-spot assessment of equipment and facilities in the power plant.
He said the project, which started in 12 years ago, had gulped about N6 billion of the state’s fund, and urged people of the area to join hands with security agents to ensure safety of the equipment.
He explained that the reinforced security measure was to secure sensitive materials kept there, adding that the state government will evacuate the equipment after stocktaking to prevent recurrence of fire that engulfed a section of the site in February and burnt some equipment.
