India has provided Mozambique 25 million U. S. dollars for electrification of the northern-most province of Niassa, state radio reported on Saturday. The project will be carried out in the districts of Mandimba, Ngauma, Majune, Maua, Nipepe and Mavago, Radio Mozambique said. According to the station, the project, which is to take 20 months before going into operation, coincides with the government' s plan to electrify the entire Mozambique. The Mozambican Electricity Company (EDM) says all the 128 districts of the country will soon have power. The northern province of Niassa and cabo Delgado are the last regions to get power under the government's five-year program.
