There is an indication that the federal government’s proposed review of provisions in Nigeria’s eight-year old Electric Power Sector Reform (EPSR) Act might have been initiated without the knowledge or input of the Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo.
Minister of State for Power, Hajia Zainab Kuchi, disclosed recently that government was planning to review the policy document to fully reflect existing challenges and changes in the country’s power sector reforms route.
But presidency sources told THISDAY in Abuja that key government agencies and functionaries in the power sector were also not informed about the proposed review.
Kuchi announced the planned review exercise during an oversight visit to the ministry by the Senate Committee on Power and Steel led by its Chairman, Senator Philip Aduda.
