Kano Electricity Distribution Company has concluded plans
to invest 1.2 billion naira in network expansion and improvement in power
supply to the famous Dawanau International Grains Market in Kano.
This was contained in a statement by the Head of Corporate
Communications at KEDCO, Sani Bala Sani, and made available to newsmen on
Wednesday.
He said the expansion and power generation are some of
the company’s major plans to improve power supply in an accelerated fashion,
especially in areas such as Dawanau International Grains Market, being the
largest in Sub-Saharan Africa, with numerous cottage industries.
According to him, the company is prioritizing the Dawanau
project amongst a string of similar projects due to its current dilapidated
network, leaving the area underserved.

Engr. InuwaDaneji, said, Upon completion of the project, we forecast an
increase in energy offtake by 200 per cent and an equivalent growth in revenue
for KEDCO.
