With the short and medium-term programmes mapped out for the power sector in the country, President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday said Nigerian children soon would no longer depend on generators for electricity supply.
Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony of the N162.9bn Zungeru Hydro Power Dam in Niger State, the President said many of the programmes mapped out for the power sector had been attained and surpassed, and that the issue of generators would soon be a thing of the past.
He said, “Today, many short and medium programmes have been attained and surpassed. The long term programmes of the power project are underway.
“Our children must not live in a country where they get individual generators to generate light for them. This government is ensuring the regulation of the power sector to ensure power for all.”
Jonathan said his administration was working towards the regulation of power where the use of individual generators would be outlawed.
