Governor Nasir Idris says his administration has stepped up efforts to ensure 24-hour power supply to Kebbi for Ramadan.

Mr Idris made the statement while fielding questions from Newsmen shortly after an inspection tour of ongoing projects in Birnin Kebbi on Monday.

He revealed that he had already invited the managing director of Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDCO) for a round table discussion on how to salvage his people to enjoy 24 24-hour power supply during Ramadan.

Idris, who expressed dissatisfaction over the electricity challenges experienced across the state, insisted that he wanted to see improved electricity supply during Ramadan.

He said, “I have already invited the Managing Director of KAEDCO for a round table discussion on how to put smile on the faces of good people of the state.

“My ambition is to ensure 24 hours of electricity supply, especially in the Holy Month of Ramadan. In view of this, I am ready to support the company in any ramification to achieve this objective In-Sha-Allah.”

Mr Idris said he was looking into the possibility of sustaining the improved supply even after the Ramadan period.

He also promised to strive hard to fulfil all his campaign promises of transforming the state to an enviable position, sustaining peace and protecting people’s lives and property.

Mr Idris, however, commended all the contractors handling the ongoing projects in the state for doing good work and the relevant ministries supervising the projects.

The governor promised to initiate and execute more quality projects that directly affect the lives of the people.
