The Benue State Government says it is working on enacting an electricity law to regulate the state energy sector. The Commissioner for Transport, Renewable Energy, and Power, Mr Omale Omale, says that a draft of the bill was at the Ministry of Justice for vetting and onward presentation to the state executive council. The commissioner stated that the bill would be sent to the House of Assembly as an executive bill as soon as the executive council approved it. Omale says the new Electricity Act allows states to join the energy market, and generate, distribute, and regulate electricity within their states.
