The House of Representatives Committee on Public Assets has called on the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to expedite the completion of the 330kV Double Circuit Ikot Ekpene–Ikot Abasi Transmission Line Project, emphasizing its importance for enhancing electricity supply and fostering economic development. During a recent site inspection, committee chairman Hon. Ademorin Kuye highlighted the need to address funding and community-related challenges that have stalled the project. The committee's investigation aims to revive abandoned federal projects, ensuring public investments are not wasted. Kuye noted that both NDPHC and the contractor, Anita Energy, are willing to resume work once these issues are resolved. He stressed that completing the project would significantly benefit local communities and the broader economy, enhancing infrastructure and supporting various sectors. The committee also commended the local communities for safeguarding project materials during the work suspension and urged NDPHC to settle outstanding compensation for affected landowners.
