Adamawa State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has stepped up efforts to expand electricity generation in the state, with a move to establish leadership for the Adamawa State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
The Governor has requested the Adamawa State House of Assembly to confirm Bako Alhaji Rabiu as Chairperson of the commission, alongside Shanti Victoria Sashi and Adamu Jibrilla as Commissioners.
The request was contained in a letter forwarded to the House by the Governor and read during Tuesday’s plenary presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Bathiya Wesley. The Speaker subsequently referred the matter to the House Committee on Works, Land and Survey for further legislative consideration.
The commission was established to provide the regulatory framework for electricity generation, transmission and distribution across Adamawa State.
With its leadership expected to be constituted, the commission is expected to explore the state’s available power resources and create opportunities for increased electricity supply, with the potential to support economic activities and improve living conditions across the state.
