'We Have No Investment In Geometric Power Project' - Alex Otti

The governor of Abia State, Alex Otti, has confirmed that the previous administration of the state made no financial investment in the recently commissioned 188MW geometric power plant project in the State.  

The governor spoke through the Minister of Commissioner for Information and Culture, Mr Okey Kanu, in a press statement on Tuesday, February 28, 2024, at the Government House, Umuahia. 

According to Kanu, some parties have argued that the previous administration contributed investments to the project for the state government.  

Kanu stated that the government operates on facts rather than assumptions, emphasizing that at the time of transition, the current administration received no documentation to substantiate the claims. 

“Geometric Power Plant is a private sector led investment company and you don’t speak about things that don’t exist.  

“At the point of handover from the previous administration to this administration, I don’t think there is any existence of financial commitment on the part of the state in the Geometric Power Plant. 

“Like I said we don’t need to speak to something that doesn’t exist,” he said.
