The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has stated the conditions that must be met for Nigerians to enjoy uninterrupted electricity supply.
The minister, who spoke to journalists in Kaduna at the end of the second edition of the National Council on Power on Thursday, said unless hoodlu
ms stopped vandalising gas pipelines, the epileptic power supply would persist.
Stable electricity, according to him, will only be achievable when contractors execute power contracts properly.
Fashola noted that host communities of electricity assets must also understand that they must make sacrifices so that the nation could benefit.
This is just as the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, called for proper restructuring of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission to ensure viable power supply in the country.
The governor said unless that was done, potential private investors would continue to shy away from investing in the power sector.
El-Rufai lamented the poor regulatory policy framework in the power sector, noting that currently, the distribution companies were struggling under huge debts. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeletePlease if we have any strength left let us all gather our voices together in a constructive way and pressure the government for Solar Subsidy. Solar can steadily give our average houses 24hours power for essential loads. Because it is costly, we need government to pay 50% back to everyone that installs solar so we can gain our independence from these story telling.

ReplyDeleteFashola did you ever criticise the past government on their inability power supply? The sins of the father will always be upon the father and never the son again. You better repent of your past criticism that you may see the purpose of your ministerlism. No even dare to loot the federal as you did to lagos state because your go just full. I wish you the best.
