The minister for Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Dr. Bosun Tijani, made this announcement during his visit to the power Plant, where he was received by group managing director, Sahara Power Group, Dr. Kola Adesina (MFR) and the CEO of Egbin Power, Mokhtar Bounour, among others.

The groundbreaking initiative, spearheaded by the federal government, aims to harness the power of reliable energy and cutting-edge technology to drive Nigeria’s digital economy forward. The collaboration between Egbin Power and the FG underscores a shared vision to enhance the nation’s technological capabilities and foster innovation in the digital sector.

Dr. Tijani was given an overview of the plant and later accompanied by the management team on a tour of the facility. During the discussion, the Minister expressed confidence that Egbin Power has the right environment to host the Data Park, enabling the GenCo to play a crucial role in powering the digital economy.

He stated that, “Without a digital economy, the growth we seek cannot be realised. Everything we need to truly power the digital economy exists here in Egbin Power—not only in terms of energy and water, but also in the excellence of the team that runs this facility. That is what is required to fuel the digital economy.”

The minister highlighted the global advancement in artificial intelligence, emphasising the need for Africa to catch up with this momentum. He stressed the importance of finding innovative ways to participate in this digital phenomenon.

Commenting on the strategic collaboration, Dr. Adesina said:  “There is a nexus between the digital economy and power. Reliable power enhances the functionality of the digital economy, whether in terms of the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), data utilization, and more.”

Egbin Power’s CEO, Mokhtar Bounour, reiterated the plant’s dedication to consistent power generation for the national grid in spite of the challenges inherent in the power sector.
