Delta State House of Assembly has approved the request of the State Governor, Rt Hon Sheriff Oborevwori seeking the re-issuance of over N18 billion naira bank guarantee in favour Bastanchury Power Solution Nigeria limited for the Asaba Independent power plant.
The approval was sequel to the Governor’s letter which was read during Tuesday’s plenary presided over by the Speaker, Rt Hon. Emomotimi Guwor.
Governor Oborevwori in his letter addressed to the house informed the house of Access Bank PLC’s willingness to collaborate with the State Government in the management of the Composite Internally Generated Revenue, IGR Account, for the purpose of boosting revenue performance through improved management systems.
