He stressed that no excuse by power stakeholders was cogent enough to substantive hardships that Nigerians were passing through.
Describing the drop in power supply as unacceptable and embarrassing, he called on President Muhammadu Buhari to rethink his way towards appointing a Minister who is not only an electrical engineer, but who has the knowledge of the industry.
“We are in a state of paralysis, and there is urgent need to appoint a reputable electrical engineer to manage the affairs of power, independent of other responsibilities”, he said.
Sani added: “Distribution Companies (DISCOs) were now distributing darkness despite increment in electricity tariff; private power investors have failed the nation by moving manageable power epilepsy to a complete paralysis.”
He called for a review of defunct Power Holdings Company of Nigeria assets, noting that privatisation of power regime had brought untold hardship to Nigerians.
While suggesting for the setting up of energy task force responsible for immediate technical and financial intervention in generation, transmission and distribution, he urged government to invest in renewable and non renewable energy.

ReplyDeleteLogo of APC should be made of broom black and mosquito.
ReplyDeleteBlack symbolises darkness and backwardness
Mosquito symbolises the sucking of poor people dry through taxing and obnoxious policies and poor suffering just for the selfish politicians and broom a half hearted attempt for poor suffering people to use brooms to sweep or bring or protect themselves from the source of their pain. This is what APC now stand for.
