Abia State Governor Alex Otti plans to purchase the Umuahia ringed fence of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) to ensure reliable power for the remaining eight LGAs unserved by Geometric Power. This announcement was made during Geometric Power’s reception post-commissioning a new sub-station by former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
