Nigeria and Germany have strengthened their bilateral relations with the signing of the Presidential Power Initiative (PPI) agreement which aims to add 12,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity to the Nigeria national grid. “And I said Mr. President, Egypt has 80 million (people) and we could use 14 gigawatts and Nigeria has 200 million people. And as we say in Germany good things take time as we have seen tonight.”The Minister Power, Dr Adebayo Adelabu, acknowledged that COVID-19 pandemic was a major factor why the deal was stalled for five years. Adelabu said 10 transformers and 10 power mobile substations have been delivered to Nigeria by Siemens. And in the next couple of months, we will witness a lot of activities on the presidential power initiatives project.
