Mysterious explosion hits Zungeru Hydro plant

The explosion at the N1.3 billion worth power plant reportedly occurred in the early hours of Monday.

Details of the explosion were still sketchy as of the time of filing this report.

In April, Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu said the 700 megawatts capacity plant had been connected to the National Grid.

Adebayo added that Nigeria’s electricity increased to 4,800MW from 4,200MW for a population estimated at over 200 million.
