The Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has pledged to restore the power plant at the Aluminium Smelter Company of Nigeria ALSCON, saying the facility could contribute up to 540 megawatts MW of electricity to the national grid.
Adelabu who made the commitment during a working visit to the company in Ikot-Abasi, Akwa Ibom State, noted that the revival of the plant would not only boost power supply but also create about 15,000 direct and indirect jobs when fully operational.
