To this end, the company has unveiled plans to establish a mini-grids model in Nasarawa with the support of the World Bank.

Speaking in Lafia, Governor Sule said the company was taking advantage of the challenges affecting television broadcasting in the country by investing in power generation.

He said he was informed of the move while hosting a delegation from the Chinese firm led by Mr. Pang Xin Xing, group chairman world-wide and Joshua Wang, the chief executive officer of StarTimes Nigeria, at the Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.

“StarTimes is now diversifying into power generation after studying television communication in Africa and Nigeria in particular and realising that one of the challenges that we are having in Nigeria is power.

“A lot of efforts have been put in place, especially with regard to the return of Bassa people to their ancestral abode in Katakpa and other parts of Toto LG.

“We sincerely commend the security agencies jointly and in particular commend the chairman of Toto LG, traditional rulers and stakeholders that have equally put in efforts to ensure peace as well as the return of Bassa people,” he said.

The governor also announced that he hosted in his office, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, Assistant Inspector-General, Police Special Protection Unit, Force Headquarters Abuja, who was on an assessment visit to police-public relations school in Lafia, preparatory to establishing a Special Protection Unit (SPU) and anti-terrorism unit.
