Nigeria's Government Launches New Power Control Centre
The federal government has initiated the construction of a new National Control Centre for the Nigerian Independent System Operator (NISO) in Osogbo, Osun State, aimed at replacing the existing 64-year-old facility. The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima, represented by his Senior Special Assistant (Legal), and Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe.
The government stated that the current control centre is inadequate for managing Nigeria's complex electricity grid, prompting the need for a modern facility. The new centre is expected to enhance NISO's capacity to monitor, manage, and coordinate the national grid, contributing to improved electricity reliability across the country.
Shettima remarked that Nigeria cannot depend on outdated infrastructure for a modern electricity network, emphasizing that reliable electricity is crucial for the federal government's development agenda, impacting manufacturers, small businesses, hospitals, and schools.
