Saleh Mamman, minister of power,
has inaugurated a special task force on the power sector.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday,
the minister said the task force will function as an advisory team to address
power challenges in the country.
Mamman said the committee is part
of the ongoing reforms to improve on policies and innovative technologies in
the sector.
The task force is chaired by
Abubakar Sambo, a professor, while Olabamiji Ogunleye is the vice-chairman.
Members of the committee are
Sunusi Bichi, Sam Okoro, Goodluck Enimakpokpo, Chidi Adabanya, Musa Usman Yola,
and Abubakar Tambuwal.
Also on the committee are Shehu
Inuwa, Tunji Ariyomo, S.S Adamu, Faruk Yusuf, Ivy Joyce Adi-Elekwa, Abba Aliyu,
Isa Ado Maidoya and Mahmud Tukur.
Others are Haruna Musa, Vincent
Dogo, Abubakar Jika Jiddere, Nurain Hassan Ibrahim, E.O Ajayi and Haruna Ladan.
“It is in line with this that I
have designed the concept of setting up this committee so as to achieve short
term service delivery gains while maintaining policy consistency of the federal
government,” Mamman said.
“Therefore, the ministerial task
force on power, within its tenure of two years is to help with developing,
planning and driving forward, the reform plan for the Nigerian power sector.”
In 2010, the Jonathan
administration inaugurated the presidential task force on power (PTFP) to drive
the implementation of reforms in the sector.
The task force was dissolved in
2016 by the Buhari administration.
