13 November 2009

TWENTY public servants made up of technicians, engineers and administrators will leave Ogun State for China to understudy the assembling of Mini power plants that will be installed in the State in the first quarter of 2010.

Governor Gbenga Daniel stated this while receiving a Chinese delegation that also included officials of CSI Nimgbo, manufacturers of the power plant.

Otunba Daniel who said five others would also leave for Germany said the move was to ensure that the power plants were well maintained by people who were part of the assembling process. The mini power plants will generate 47 megawatts of electricity and would cost the Ogun State Government N7.2 Billion.
