The Chinese President Xi Jinping has informed President Buhari of the
willingness of his country to finance the whole project of the Mambilla
Power Station through a special loan agreement. President Buhari had
indicated to Xi Jinping at a bilateral meeting in New York that he
wanted China to re-commence stalled rail projects under new terms that
would see China providing nearly all the financing required. It was at
this meeting Buhari also discussed ways of removing all obstacles in the
way of the 3,050 MW Mambila Power Station. Mambilla Power Station, one
of Africa's (and Nigeria's) biggest dam projects, is a projected hydro
power plant which will be connected to three dams across the Donga River
in Taraba State. Conceived in 1982, the main Mambilla Dam is a large
rolled compact concrete dam and reservoir at 1,300 metres (4,300 ft)
above sea level.
