The Chairman of the Management Committee of Muhammadu Buhari Industrial Park, Mallam Bashir Nuhu, says the provision of stable 24-hour electricity supply will significantly boost industrial operations and business activities at the park.
Mallam Bashir Nuhu stated this during a stakeholders’ engagement meeting with industrialists and business owners at the Muhammadu Buhari Industrial Park in Dadinkowa, Gombe State.
He said the meeting, attended by more than 30 investors and business owners alongside officials of Savannah Electricity Distribution Company, is aimed at discussing the appropriate capacity and level of electricity supply required by companies operating within the industrial park.
According to him, the establishment of the park in Dadinkowa was strategically located close to the hydroelectric power facility to facilitate direct access to electricity generated by the Dadinkowa Hydropower Plant.
He explained that the arrangement would enable electricity to be transmitted directly to the industrial park, providing investors with the reliable power needed to sustain production and business operations.
Earlier, the Managing Director of Gombe Revenue Optimization Company Limited, Abdulkadir Usman, said the engagement was organised to provide investors and business owners with an opportunity to interact directly with Savannah Electricity Distribution Company on the modalities for distributing electricity to businesses within the park.
He disclosed that more than 30 investors and business owners participated in the meeting, describing the outcome as fruitful.
Also speaking, the Managing Director of Savannah Electricity Distribution Company, Abideen Amusan, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to providing stable electricity to businesses operating within the industrial area.
Amusan assured stakeholders that the company would collaborate with all relevant parties to achieve 24-hour electricity supply across the industrial park, enabling businesses to operate and maintain production efficiently.
Speaking on behalf of the investors and business owners, the Chairman of Atlantics Table Water, Muhammad Adamu Abubakar, expressed optimism that the engagement would have a positive impact on businesses operating within the park.
He said the meeting would strengthen understanding and cooperation among investors and key stakeholders, particularly the electricity distribution company.
Abubakar further assured the authorities and other stakeholders of the investors’ readiness to provide the necessary support and cooperation to ensure the full-scale production and smooth operation of businesses within the Muhammadu Buhari Industrial Park.
