New Telegraph reports that China Power built the $1.5 billion Shiroro Dam for the Federal Government.
The team from China Power led by the Vice President of China Power/Sinohydro West/Central Africa, Tino Dong, indicated an interest in collaborating with the Abia State Government in the development of the Power Sector, Construction, and survey/extraction of solid minerals and gas.
Governor Otti thanked Senator Kalu for his encouraging visits irrespective of different political party affiliations. He reiterated his stance that after campaigns, elections, and litigation are over, governance takes centre stage, hence the need for stakeholders to close ranks to ensure that dividends of democracy get to the people.
He emphasized that the welfare of the people remained the top priority of his administration.
