Tinubu Greenlights ₦68bn Funding for Maiduguri Emergency Power Plant

Governor Babagana Zulum has thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving ₦68 billion in operational support for the Maiduguri Emergency Power Plant. The funds will be disbursed as ₦2 billion each month from March 2026 to December 2028 to bridge the existing funding gap. Launched in 2021 after insurgents vandalised critical infrastructure, the plant was upgraded to a 50 MW capacity in December 2023. It has since played a key role in restoring electricity, reviving economic activities and improving livelihoods in Borno State. In a statement, Governor Zulum described the intervention as timely and impactful, saying it will strengthen ongoing efforts to support security and drive further development across the state.
