The IPP will power all government offices, including the government house.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo will on Monday, November 29, inaugurate the newly completed multi-billion naira Delta State Secretariat Complex, and the 8.5 Megawatts Independent Power Project (IPP) in Asaba, the Delta State capital.

Governor Ifeanyi Okowa disclosed this on Sunday, November 28, while speaking to newsmen shortly after inspecting the facility ahead of the inauguration.

He said that the secretariat complex named after Asagba of Asaba, His Royal Majesty, Professor Chike Edozien is fully completed and ready for inauguration.

The governor said that the secretariat complex, which sits on 45,000 square meters, was designed to accommodate all the ministries and their staff.

"The secretariat complex is fully completed and ready for the inauguration.

"I went round to check the route through which the vice president can come in for tomorrow's inauguration and I am convinced that we are ready.

"The secretariat is a very complex one, sitting on 45,000 square meters, which is very huge and it's designed to contain all the ministries and their staff, except the Ministry of Works.

"It is so inter-connected with a lot of things, to the point of having a banking hall, restaurants, creche and even a clinic that could actually serve as a mini-hospital.

"The new secretariat is internet enabled all through and it is powered along with other government offices, through an Independent Power Plant. That means we are having 24-hour power supply.

"We also have conference rooms and all the ministries are interconnected.

"Plans are already in place for a full facility manager, with other sub managers taking charge of security, the cleanliness and the environmental sanitation," he said.

The governor also announced that the 8.5 megawatts Independent Power Project in the state capital will be inaugurated same day by the vice president.

He added that the IPP will power all government offices, including the government house, with government activities running un-interrupted.
