Mambilla Hydroelectric Power Project

Proposed 3,050MW hydroelectric plant in Taraba State, designed to be Nigeria's largest power facility. Awarded in 2003 by then Power Minister Olu Agunloye to Sunrise Power & Transmission for $6bn. Has stalled through successive administrations amid corruption allegations, contract disputes and a Sunrise $2.3bn arbitration claim in Paris. The Mamman conviction (May 2026) reconfirmed that funds released for Mambilla were diverted through private companies; the 2023 EFCC fraud/forgery charge against Agunloye over the original award remains on trial.
