Nigeria Names Chinese Contractor To Build Long-Delayed Power Project
Nigeria has awarded Chinese contractor China Civil Engineering Construction a $5.8-billion contract to construct a 3,050-MW hydroelectric power plant at the Donga River in Tafara State.
Despite concerns raised by International Rivers and other environmental groups, Nigeria has awarded Chinese contractor China Civil Engineering Construction a $5.8-billion contract to construct a large hydroelectric power plant at the Donga River in Tafara State.
The 3,050-MW hydropower plant project has been on and off for more than 35 years, as previous contracts fell through due to claims of high-level corruption and lack of political goodwill from top government leaders.
