Chairman of Egbin Power, Kola Adesina, during a speech at the University of Abuja, said, “Following the privatisation and handover of the Egbin Power Plants to the core investor, management and Board decided to overhaul the six units of the plants for ultimatum performance. As a result, certain equipments were replaced. One of them is the vessel donated to this university.”

Adesina, who was represented by Kingsley Okotie said, stressed that the facility “will help for practical demonstration of students in the faculty of engineering, to enhance knowledge and serve for research and development purposes."
