In a renewed effort to boost power supply in Lagos State, the management of the Power Holding Com-pany of Nigeria (PHCN), has inau-gurated a Geog-raphical Information System (GIS), unit for prompt service delivery.

The new information technology apparatus installed by Hafmani Nigeria Limited at the Lagos Island business unit of Eko Electricity Distribution Zone is to monitor all power problems in the state for prompt routine maintenance, repairs and rectification.

Hafmani, which is the technology consultant to the PHCN, has, however com-menced a nationwide training for staff of the PHCN to meet the operational standard of the GIS equipment.

Speaking at the inauguration of the GIS unit, the Chief Executive  Officer  of Eko Electricity Distri-bution Zone,  Mr  Ayo Obilomo, implored the members of staff to remain focused and committed while ensuring that the GIS unit served its purpose.

According to Obilomo, “the GIS project is not the only innovative package and solution to stable power supply but also a step toward providing other solutions to power problems.

While emphasising on the importance of the power solution facility, the Chief Executive Officer, Hafmani Nigeria Limited, Mrs Rashidat Usman, said that the PHCN had taken the right step through the installation of the GIS unit to provide a lasting solution to power failure in Nigeria.
