Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State has expressed optimism that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of the Evergreen City project will significantly enhance power supply and create extensive job opportunities for unemployed youths across the country.
According to a statement released by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Ibrahim Addra, the Evergreen City project, slated to be established in Nasarawa State, aims to achieve these goals.
Sule made these remarks Thursday during a meeting with officials of CATL, the world’s largest EV battery producer based in China.
He highlighted that the state’s support for the project includes allocating 5,000 hectares of land in Karu, the headquarters of Karu Local Government Area, for the Evergreen City Project.
