The Federal Government has approved $64 million for power supply to Escravos communities.
This was disclosed by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, at the end of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday presided by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
Kachikwu said the project will stop the N18 million spent monthly by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to provide power to the area.
