Abia State Governor Dr Alex Otti has urged the management of Geometric Power, operators of Aba Power, to look for other sources of gas supply to prevent what happened penultimate week, when the city stayed for two weeks without power owing to a lack of gas from the supplying firm.
The governor, who gave the advice while receiving the management of Geometric Power, led by its chairman, Prof. Barth Nnaji, in his office, commended the firm for restoring electricity supply in Aba after several days of outage.
Governor Otti acknowledged the impact of the blackout on residents and businesses in Aba and its environs, noting that the people have become accustomed to having constant power supply under the current administration.
“I must also put on record our appreciation for the resolution of the blackout that lasted several days. At some point, we were running around, and then we got the message that power had been restored. We want to congratulate and thank you.”

“It’s interesting that when power goes out for hours in Aba, people are screaming because they have gotten used to constant electricity.
“What we need to do now is to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. So, we need to make it permanent, whatever it takes,” Otti said.
The governor reiterated his administration’s commitment to working with Geometric Power and other stakeholders to sustain the gains in power supply and drive industrialisation in Aba and beyond.
