Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, on yesterday read the riot act for dubious people in the nation's power sector, warning them that the era of fraud in any form was over.
Speaking on Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), programme, Platform, monitored in Lagos, the minister stated that the syndrome of Nigerian Factor, would not have a place in the sector during his tenure.
The minister said a monitoring device was being put in place to plug all loopholes in the system to ensure that every kobo utilised was accounted for.
His words: "We are setting up a very robust monitoring device. One thing I can assure you is that all leakages will be plugged.
It's not going to be business as usual. The legacy that we have now will not tolerate the so-called Nigerian Factor and leakages.
It is time for everybody to know that it is no longer business as usual. If anyone wants to continue in the old games, then we will hold them accountable.
I can assure you that we have put in place a solid mechanism to ensure that when government puts in funds somewhere, government gets a concomitant, good, quality work that it has paid for.
