 Uzodimma, A Leader With A Knack To Put Smiles On The Faces Of His People And Still Doesn't Make Noise About It. 

It's no news that Imo is playing host to Nigeria's biggest gas facilities and the state government has contributed alot in making that dream of ensuring safe energy and steady power supply to the state a reality as two independent gas projects (Seplat and Shell) are currently set for completion in the state. 

Bellow are the things you need to know about the projects.

A. Seplat gas project costs $700 million while Shell gas project costs $3.5 billion, totalling $4.2 billion, which is more than the GDP of Ogun State, the most industrialised state in Western Nigeria.

 B. Both projects are located in the Asa North – Ohaji (ANOH) gas processing area.

 C. Seplat plant will produce 300 million metric standard cubic feet of gas daily while Shell plant will produce 600 MMscfd, equivalent of 2.4 GW (not MW) of electricity.

 D. At completion, Asa North – Ohaji (2 LGAs in Imo) will produce 900 MMscfd, which will make the zone Nigerian gas powerhouse and with a GDP that is about 1.2x bigger than the GDPs of Ogun and Ondo, 1.5X bigger than Oyo GDP, and 2.5x bigger than Ekiti and Osun GDPs.

 E. ANOH gas zone will supply steady gas to Ogun state via a gas pipeline.

 F. Shell gas project sits on a 200 hectares of land and will supply gas to Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi states

 G. Both projects will be commissioned this year. Seplat project is due for completion on third quarter of 2024.

 H. The Assa North and Ohaji fields contain reserves of 4.3 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas in addition to 215 million barrels (Mmbbls) of condensate.

With this, Imo will have the capacity to power her economy and as well power her neighbors. All these was achieved within a very short period of time with Uzodimma playing the main role needed of a government by get the nod of the federal for these projects to sited in the state. This project was attracted to the state because of his business friendly policies despite the disturbances from the enemies of the state.

The state government under Uzodimma provided the needed supports in all fronts and facets to make this project a reality and the people of Imo are very much glad because the needed succour is here with us as our days of DARKNESS will soon be over.
