*OGOJA COUNCIL CHAIRMAN CALLS FOR FEDERAL INTERVENTION IN POWER SUPPLY*The Chairman of Ogoja Local Government Council, Chief Hon. Christopher Agbeh, has raised serious concerns over the persistent power outage affecting Ogoja and surrounding communities, urging the Federal Ministry of Power to urgently intervene.Speaking during a visit to the Federal Ministry of Power in Abuja, Chief Agbeh lamented that the lack of public power supply continues to hinder economic growth and discourage potential investors who are ready to establish industries in the area. He described Ogoja and the entire Northern Senatorial District of Cross River State as a “forgotten zone” in terms of electricity supply.According to the Council Chairman, “Investors are eager to set up factories and industries in Ogoja, especially as raw materials are abundant here. However, the absence of consistent electricity is a major setback to these economic opportunities.”Chief Agbeh emphasized that stable power supply is critical for improving the local economy, creating employment, and attracting sustainable development to the region.In response, the Director of Transmission at the Federal Ministry of Power, Engr. Philip Okpanefe, commended Chief Agbeh for his proactive leadership and concern for the welfare of his people. He acknowledged the electricity supply challenges facing Ogoja and described the area’s industrial interest as a “positive signal” that must be supported.Engr. Okpanefe assured that the Ministry would look into the matter with a view to improving power supply to Ogoja. He noted that increased investor interest is a healthy indicator of long-term economic and power sector growth, adding that improved electricity access would significantly reduce the region’s high unemployment rate.
