How resilience powered Barth Nnaji to deliver on Geometric dream
If you consider what 20 years means in the life of a business, then you will understand why organisations roll out the drums to celebrate the mileage.
But that number of years is what it took Geometric Power Limited, a private electricity company, to set up the 141 MW Aba Integrated Power Project, tagged ‘The Aba IPP.’
Of course, the project financed by Diamond Bank, Afreximbank and others, currently generates 141 megawatts (MW) of power across nine local government areas (LGAs) within the Aba ring-fenced zone, hence it is the first-of-its-kind in Nigeria. The target is that it would be extended to its full capacity of 181 MW upon the delivery of the final turbine.
But amid the cheers at the commissioning by Kashim Shettima, Nigeria’s vice president, on February 26, 2024, the initiators are sighing in relief considering the many obstacles they faced from the inception, which threatened their investment, delayed the completion and piled up debt.
From the bottlenecks in granting the licence, issues bordering on difficulty in sourcing funds, huge debt, cold war from competition, refusal of right of way by communities, scandals, vandalism of infrastructure, among several others, Geometric Power still

Prof Bart Nnaji: A Fellow Sportsman in Enugu Governorship Race
By Emmanuel Okala, MON, ex – Eagles Goalkeeper
Like most sportsmen and women in Nigeria, I was excited when it was reported that Professor Bart Okechukwu Nnaji, the globally famous engineering genius, accepted on Sunday, April 3, 2022, to run for the Enugu State gubernatorial race. I am particularly happy for obvious reasons.
Though my parents came from Onitsha in today’s Anambra State, I have been living and working in Enugu since the 1970s, including being the goalkeeper for the Rangers International Football Club which in the 1970s and 1980s set different records in Nigeria’s history. The second reason for my interest in Professor Nnaji is that he and I participated in the 1975 National Sports Festival at the National Stadium, Surulere, Lagos, as representatives of East Central State which has since been split into today’s Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states.
While I was playing football, Nnaji was a star in the field and track events. He represented East Central State in about four events, including long jump and the 880-metre race where he won prizes. The 1975 National Sports Festival took place five years after the Nigerian Civil War which our heroic Eastern Nigerian people lost. All
