Udom Emmanuel, governor of Akwa Ibom state, says his administration is committed to achieving 24 hours electricity for all households in the state by 2021.
Emmanuel said his drive for uninterrupted power supply made the state government to launch “Power for all by the year 2021”, inaugurated by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo earlier this year.
The governor, who stated this, at the 60th birthday of Meyen Etukudo, managing director, Ibom Power Company and his senior special assistant on power, thanked the management and board of Ibom Power Company for keying into the vision of electricity for all pursued by his administration.
He said his administration’s investment in the power sector would be noticed when the entire state enjoys uninterrupted electricity as envisaged by his administration.

“The investments made in the power sector may not really be seen immediately and whatever is being counted as achievements of an administration may not include power because investment in power cannot readily be seen except when there is constant supply of electricity,” he said.
Emmanuel thanked Etukudo for bringing his wealth of experience to bear in the power sector and congratulated him on his 60th birthday.
