OGUN STATE IS NOW PERFECTLY POSITIONED FOR SOMETHING BIG. 🔥🔥🔥
The new Abeokuta 330/132kV Transmission Substation at Toolu is now on track for completion by December 2026 (video attached).
Here are 6 things you should know:
1. The project is part of Phase 1 of the Siemens Presidential Power Initiative (PPI).
It is expected to contribute 480MW of additional transmission capacity to the national grid. It’s roughly 50% of the 986MW capacity upgrade of the Phase 1 of the project, which covers 5 substations across the country.
2. A massive 300MVA transformer has arrived and it is being installed.
3. The existing facility is being upgraded into a modern 330/132/33kV transmission substation.
In simple English, this means a stronger connection to the national electricity transmission network and greater capacity to move electricity into Ogun State for onward distribution.
4. The improved transmission infrastructure is expected to strengthen electricity supply to major industrial and manufacturing clusters across Ogun State.
5. This means cheaper operating costs for businesses as the dependence on diesel (production fuel) will reduced significantly. Direct effect of that is more industrial investment, greater potential for business expansion and job creation.
6. This is a Federal Project. The Presidential Power Initiative (PPI) is a partnership between Nigeria and Germany, with Siemens Energy. Its broader ambition is to modernise Nigeria’s electricity infrastructure and increase the country’s power system capacity towards 25,000MW.
The Abeokuta project is one of five major substations being upgraded in the first batch, alongside projects in Oyo, Kwara, Anambra and Sokoto.
Ogun State holds the key to a prosperous Nigeria.
God bless Ogun State.
God bless Nigeria.
Do you know why it keeps getting worse with these guys? It's because their bosses say something online and goes to the office to tell them something else. They understand whatever is announced online is for the optics, police is barely punishing these guys.
It's going to keep getting worse.
Their PRO is in the comments with their usual "blah blah look into this" na where e end be that. They will parade them 4days later so you think they've heard your cries and then goto the office to take them to a different branch.
