BLUNT AND DIRECT! Nigerians May Not Enjoy Power For Another 10 Years - Senate President Says [HERE'S WHY]
May 20, 2020
The Senate has summoned the federal government to consider a holistic review of the power privatisation policy with a view to reversing the current arrangement.
The red chamber said on Tuesday that Nigerians would not enjoy stable power supply in the next 10 years if the activities of the distribution companies were not reviewed and restructured.
The Senate President , Ahmad Lawan , stated this on Tuesday after the Senate had considered and approved a motion by Senator Gabriel Suswan on the power sector recovery plan .
He said , “ We gave power to them ( power generation and distribution companies ) and they still come to the public to ask for funds.
“I think it's time for Nigeria to consider reversing the privatisation of the power sector or they should just cancel the entire privatisation process completely .
“ If we leave it , we may not have power for another 10 years.”
Lawan said, “ The privatisation of the power sector has , so far , not been successful. We expected efficiency and effectiveness in the power supply .
