The Federal Government yesterday defended the Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger, GCON honour on the Chairman, Conoil, Chief Mike Adenuga, describing it as well deserving.
Addressing newsmen, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe said there was the need to divorce the action of Adenuga’s company from his personal achievements.
Okupe who noted that he stands as one of the greatest employers of labour in Nigeria today, said Chief Adenuga has done a great deal for the country through his numerous business concerns which employ thousands of Nigerians.
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, also disclosed that Nigeria now expects power generation to hit about 7,000Mw by December with the increased availability of gas to power the National Integrated Power Projects, NIPP, in the country.
He also said the nation’s external reserves will soon hit $50 billion, stressing that at present, it stands at about $39billion which according to him was enough to guarantee three months of imports without fears. Okupe said that with the present reserves, it will strengthen the Naira, stabilize the economy as well tame demands on income.
