The Union described the action as wickedness, anti-progressive, anti- development and anti-people.
The Union further said that they have it in authority that there are clandestine moves by some interest groups to frustrate Edo State Government efforts to boost socio-economic activities in the state.through Ossiomo power plant.
You will recalled that through a Public Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement, Edo State Government secured approval for power supply through Ossiomo Power Plant to provide electricity to government offices, Ministries Departments, Agencies and other public estabishments.
