2027 POLL: NDUME WARNS TINUBU, APC | CLAIMS GRUMBLING IN NORTH 'LL AFFECT ELECTION OUTCOME

When much of the country was plunged into darkness, one part of Nigeria quietly kept the lights on, and that contrast has sparked one of the most talked-about headlines in today’s newspaper review. On this episode of our Morning Show Newspaper Review, we sit down with Barrister Chidi Ujoatumba, CEO of Ujoatumba and Company, to unpack Governor Alex Otti’s revelation that Abia State was shielded from the nationwide blackouts on January 23 and 27, thanks to the independent Geometric Power Plant in Aba. While other regions grappled with grid instability and widespread outages, Aba and nine surrounding areas reportedly remained powered by the 181-megawatt Geometric Power facility, a project more than two decades in the making. Commissioned in 2024 after years of delays, policy shifts, and infrastructural hurdles, the plant operates outside Nigeria’s national grid, drawing from locally sourced gas to generate electricity. This development opens up a bigger national conversation: Is this a glimpse into the future of power generation in Nigeria? Can decentralized, embedded power systems succeed where the national grid has struggled? And what does this mean for economic growth, industrial productivity, and investor confidence? Barr. Ujoatumba brings legal, economic, and governance perspectives into the mix, helping us break down what this milestone means not just for Abia, but for the broader Nigerian electricity sector. From regulatory frameworks and energy reforms to the long-term sustainability of independent power projects, this discussion connects policy with real-life impact. Because power isn’t just about light — it’s about livelihoods. Stable electricity determines whether factories run, hospitals function efficiently, small businesses thrive, and students can study at night. Aba’s experience raises an important question: Could state-driven or private-sector-led power solutions be the key to solving Nigeria’s chronic electricity crisis? As always, our newspaper review goes beyond the headlines, offering context, clarity, and a touch of wit to make complex national issues easier to understand. If you care about Nigeria’s energy future, economic resilience, and bold regional solutions, this is one conversation you don’t want to miss. #afiatvofficial #dstv254 #gotv17 #morningshow #newspaperreview #AbiaPower #GeometricPower #NigeriaElectricity #energyreform #powersector #AbaBusiness #morningshows #afiatv #nigerianews
