Enugu State Takes Full Control of Electricity Market
The Enugu State Electricity Regulatory Commission (EERC) has officially taken full control of the state’s electricity market after a transition from the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC). This move makes Enugu the first state in Nigeria to establish a sub-national electricity market. EERC issued licenses to Mainpower Electricity Distribution Limited, a subsidiary of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC), and Fedikore Limited, which will build a 10MW Independent Power Project (IPP) in the state.
EERC Chairman Chijioke Okonkwo highlighted the significance of this development, emphasizing that it marks the start of a more efficient and innovative electricity market for Enugu. He also praised the independence the commission has from political interference, ensuring fairness and transparency in regulating the sector. Mainpower and Fedikore expressed confidence in delivering improved services and driving industrial growth, signaling the beginning of an energy revolution in Enugu.
A viral clip has made its way online showing a police officer in Delta State shooting a suspect who had already been restrained.
It can be noted that the suspect was pleading, claiming he had been framed and deceived, and said he would lead them to the right place.
However, while he was pleading, the police officer shot him. The officer later stated that the suspect was armed with a gun.
It was later revealed that the police officer has been arrested, as it is against the law to shoot a restrained suspect.
It was reported by the Kogi State Government that 24 children were abducted from an orphanage home. It was shared that this happened on the 26th of April, Sunday, and gunmen were seen in the area that day.
The information was shared by the Commissioner of Information, Kingsley Fanwo, who shared this sad news and described it as unfortunate.
“We condemn in strong terms the abduction of innocent children from an orphanage, the government is working closely with security operatives to ensure their safe return,”
Ghanaian media personality Afia Schwarzenegger speaks on the xenophobia issues occurring around Africans in South Africa.
She stated that Ghana is not the same as Nigeria and shared that if such issues happen to Ghanaians in South Africa, they will speak up and not keep quiet. She added that they will react.
“Ghana is not like Nigeria and we won’t hesitate to return the stupid favour.”
