“WE WILL NOT SUCCEED UNTIL WE GET TO THE SECOND PHASE OF IBOM POWER” – ENGR. ETIDO INYANG
The Chairman of Ibom Power Board of Directors, Engr. Etido Inyang has said implementation of Ibom Power Phase 2 will be the yardstick to measure the success of the new Board.
Speaking at the inaugural Board meeting held at Ibom Power Corporate office in Uyo, Engr. Etido Inyang said the responsibility of the Board is to actualize the vision of Governor Udom Emmanuel for the success of Ibom Power Company Limited.
He said “the vision should be one not about individual interests; we will not succeed until we get to the second Phase of Ibom power”. He therefore urged the Board members and the Management to use their connections across sectors to ensure the implementation of Ibom power phase 2.
Speaking further, the Chairman said the Board in collaboration with the Management will work to ensure that Ibom power plant produces at the full installed capacity. He said when Ibom power produces at full capacity then the Federal Government will be expected to ensure adequate evacuation of Ibom power output.

He also appreciated the Managing Director of Ibom Power, Engr. Meyen Etukudo for holding-the-fort in the absence of the Board. He urged Ibom power Management to work in harmony with the Board of Directors to actualize the vision of His Excellency for Ibom Power Company Limited.
