The Ebonyi State Government has sought partnership with a Chinese firm, CAMC Engineering Company Limited, in the areas of power among others. Governor David Umahi, while receiving a delegation from UNIDO and CAMCE at the Governor’s Lodge in Abakaliki, during the week, said he sought the partnership to develop the state, The Punch reports.
Umahi told the Chinese company, led by the Director-General, Yu Tao, that his administration would be delighted if they could build a 10MW solar plant in the state. The governor said, “We will like if we can get between 5MW and 10MW solar plant to light up the streets in our towns. This is very important to us because we need to extend business hours and check crimes in the state.”
While describing Chinese investors as reliable and dependable, he praised the UNIDO for being another strong development partner assisting the state in various sectors like rice mills, Information and Communications Technology and provision of medical solar lamps.
