The secretary to the state government (SSG) Samuel Jatau signed the MoU on behalf of the government while AVM Chollom Pam (rtd) signed on behalf of Shimankar Valley Limited, the construction firm.

Jatau said the signing of the MoU marked the beginning of the industrialisation of the state by the Mutfwang administration.

“Today, the signing of this MoU shows the seriousness in which the Plateau State government intends to drive the state into the area of industrialisation. As you are aware, there is no industry without power, so we need to start from the bottom up and that’s why we are signing this MoU.

“A team of experts will be set up to interface with their team to see the details. We are happy to have this MoU signed. You can see everybody holding very heavy power banks because of the problem of power. So, the key ingredient of development is power.”

“If we want the Plateau State to be an industrialised state, then we need power. We will work expeditiously for the actualization of this. This will also create job opportunities, and economic activities across the state,” Jatau assured citizens of Plateau State.

He charged the company to deliver on its promise while adding that the Plateau State government is ready to play its part in achieving the dream of providing power that is owned by the people of Plateau State for the development of the state and its citizens.

The managing director and chief executive officer of Shimankar Valley Limited, AVM Chollom Pam (rtd), said the project is a clean energy concept with zero-negative effects on the host communities.

He said the idea of developing a hydropower plant started way back in 2013 when the company conducted a survey of the state and realised that the state has huge potential for hydropower development.
