President of the Senior Staff Association of Electricity and Allied Companies (SSAEC), Comrade Bede Opara has said that Nigeria can achieve 10,000mw power generation by the end of this year.
Opara said the nation’s desire to up its power generation lies on the contractors handling power projects and the institutions to sanction them if they fail to complete their jobs as at when due.
He told our correspondent in a telephone chat that Nigeria has what it takes to achieve 10,000 mw in the months ahead.
He said: “It is feasible provided the contractors are ready to work within the scheduled time and government institutions are ready to guide and possibly sanction them if they fail to deliver the projects as at when due.”
Power Minister, Professor Nebo had last week shifted the nation’s goal post to the attainment of the 10,000 megawatts to the first quarter of 2014 due to extraneous factors.
