The House of Representatives Committee on Public Assets has pledged to work with the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) to resolve funding constraints and lingering community issues delaying the completion of the 330kV double circuit Ikot Ekpene–Ikot Abasi transmission line project.

The commitment followed an oversight visit by the committee to the project site, where lawmakers inspected the level of work completed and held discussions with officials of the NDPHC, the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) contractor, Anita Energy, as well as leaders of the host communities.

A statement issued in Abuja by the Head, Corporate Communication and External Relations at NDPHC, Nazo Agim, stated that the committee was led by its Chairman, Hon. Ademorin Kuye, and included Hon. Tunji Akinosi, Hon. Jaafaru Yakubu as well as Hon. Patrick Umoh.
