And moreover, a vital link that shall facilitate power exchange among Nigeria, Niger, Togo/Benin, Burkina and beyond. The priority nature of the project was again reaffirmed in the ECOWAS master-plan for the development of regional power generation and transmission infrastructure 2019-2033 that was approved by the ECOWAS Heads of State and Government in December 2018,” the minister noted.

    The Project, he announced would be financed by African Development Bank (AfDB), European Union (EU), French Development Agency and the World Bank.
