He keep up with that the country networks in the state would have to get additional consideration from the state government.
On the continuous examination concerning the tasks of the state-claimed Ibom Power Organization in Ikot Abasi, he said it was anything but a witch-chase however expected as a reality tracking down measure to unwind why the plant has not had the option to deliver power ideally for power buyers in the state.
"I have requested functional review; we are as yet placing cash into Ibom Power, let me comprehend what the issues are, would we say we are ready to communicate power, would we say we are sending ideally? On the off chance that we don't have that all encompassing comprehension, you can't take care of the issue, let us get to the underlying foundations of the issue, why cant we send ideally and how might we communicate ideally?"
