The Zamfara State Government is committed to a strategic partnership with ASI Engineering Limited, core investor in Kaduna Electric, to strengthen electricity infrastructure and improve the reliability and quality of supply in the state.
The initiative is aligned with the government’s bold six-point SMART Agenda, focusing on security, agriculture and food security, education, economy, healthcare, and empowerment, with power as a critical enabler of these development priorities.
This commitment was reaffirmed at a meeting held on Tuesday, between Governor Dauda Lawal, and his team, and the Board and Management of ASI Engineering Limited, led by its Chairman, Alhaji Aminu Abubakar Suleiman, a statement quoted on Wednesday.
According to the statement, under this partnership, ASI Engineering will integrate electricity infrastructure upgrades into Zamfara’s rescue and rebuild pillars, unlocking significant economic dividends—ranging from improved industrial productivity to job creation and enhanced quality of life.
To deepen the impact, ASI Engineering, through Kaduna Electric, will collaborate with the Zamfara State Government to convene a high-level Economic and Investment Summit, tagged “Zamfara Economic Revival & Investment Summit – ZERIS”.
The event will bring together credible investors, development partners, and private sector leaders to harness the state’s vast opportunities, the statement added.
It said through the collaboration, ASI Engineering projects a doubling of Zamfara’s power demand—from the current 20MW to over 40MW within two years—delivering tangible benefits to the state’s economy and its people.
