In an unprecedented move by any Nigerian institution, the American University of Nigeria, Yola, is to receive 30 megawatts of electricity from neighbouring Cameroun. This, the institution said, was aimed at alleviating the acute shortage of electricity in the AUN community and environs.



The Camerounian High Commissioner to Nigeria, Ambassador Salahuddeen Ibrahim-Abbas, said his country was willing to assist Nigeria in whichever way it could. Ibrahim-Abbas, who led a team of 10 Cameroonian officials to the university on Tuesday June 6, was said to have visited Adamawa State for a diplomatic meeting on the interconnection of power within Nigeria and Cameroun.
This was contained in a statement sent to our correspondent via electronic mail, on Monday.
The statement quoted the ambassador as commending what he called the remarkable progress recorded by the AUN in the last couple of years.
The statement added that the ambassador took time off the meeting to visit AUN in order to update his country on progress made by the institution. It added, “With a population of over 180 million and the growth in the industry and agriculture of Nigeria, it has become imperative to explore alternative power supply.
“Power evacuation from the Camerounian dam will serve as a tool for the enhancement of the diplomatic relations and as the watershed for the electricity sufficiency and success of bilateral activities between Nigeria and Cameroun.” While receiving the delegates, Vice-President Byron Bullock, expressed the institution’s pleasure and pride at Cameroun’s continued interest in and friendship with the university.

Sad...couple years ago we were giving light to Ghana as if we had steady light. Now, we're buying light from Cameroon. We're supposed to be improving and climbing up the ladder but it just seems like we're going down, down, down...chai

Other border states should equally source for power from our neighbours, Chad,Niger and Benin while MIKANO,TMG,JUBALI and other generator merchants are in charge of Nigeria power supply.
