“In six months, Edo State Government intends to provide 24 hours electricity to some sections of the state and this will be made possible through the MoU signed with an IPP company which has already started construction,” he said according to Vanguard.

“Some of you will become employers of labour. You will begin to run shifts for 24 hours, having people working for you day and night,” he added.
