The Secretary General of West African Power Pool (WAPP), Mr. Amadou Diallo said on Monday that the sub region needed $26 billion dollars (about N4, 16t) to fix its power challenges.

Diallo made the disclosure during an interactive session with newsmen in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the organisation began the 7th session of its General Assembly in the Federal Capita Territory (FCT) on Monday.

Diallo said: “The Sub Region is putting an inter-connectivity system in place to put all ECOWAS member states together through electrical network.

“.. Now we have Nigeria, Benin Togo, Ghana, Bourkina Faso, Cote de Voire, Niger, Mali, Senegal and Mauritania interconnected through the integration Region.

“Soon WAPP will start to implement interconnection between Cote de Voire , Liberia, Senegal, and Nigeria in 225 KV Transmission Lines with 12 Sub Stations.”

The Secretary General said that “with this plan, wherever there is excess power, any country that needs it can buy it and pass it through the transmission system.’’

Diallo explained that if the $26 billon dollars was injected into the power industry of West African countries, many of the power challenges in the region would be history.
