Dedicated Power Plant That Gives Electricity To Aso Villa Submerged In Floods

Aso Villa, Abuja

The Okpai Gas Independent Power plant, located in the oil-rich Ndokwa East Local Government Council of Delta State, host to a dedicated power supply to Aso Villa, Abuja, is submerged by flood.

According to the Guardian, the same is the situation in other 79 communities and over 100 oil-producing communities in Ndokwa West and Ukwuani councils that are demanding N50 billion compensation from Abuja.

In a report by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), about 108 deaths has been recorded in the 12 flooded states. It also disclosed that 441,252 people were affected, while 13,031 houses and 122,653 farmlands were destroyed.

NEMA, in a situation update in Abuja, expressed concern that the large scale flooding might continue to rise further as assessments were ongoing, especially in Bayelsa and Rivers states believed to be among the worst hit.
