The project funded by the World Bank and implemented by REA is at 85 percent completion.
During the weekend tour of Maiduguri, the REA’s managing director/CEO, Abba Abubakar Aliyu, remarked on the significance of providing electricity to tertiary institutions.
Aliyu said the second phase of the project, funded by the World Bank, aims to provide 12mw of power to the university, benefiting 350,000 students and impacting over 50,000 staff, including non-academic staff.
He highlighted the near completion of the phase II project, which includes seven universities and two teaching hospitals.
He further stated that this is the World Bank’s first visit, and their support has been crucial in making this project a reality.
