VERIFICATION NOTES

The Ikere Gorge Dam predates the current administration. Federal Ministry of Water Resources reporting states that the hydropower initiative dates to collaboration between the Federal Ministries of Water Resources and Power beginning in 2012. In November 2025, the Federal Government signed a 30-year concession agreement for the 6MW hydropower project, and on 30 January 2026 the facility was formally handed over to Quaint Power and Infrastructure Nigeria Limited. The record therefore distinguishes the historical project from the current administration’s concession and redevelopment phase.
