MOVED by poor supply of electricity in the country, the Senate has summoned the Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo, Minister of State, Hajia Zainab Kuchi, and the Permanent Secretary, Ambassador Godknows Igali, to appear before its Committee on Power on Tuesday to explain why the problem has remained unabated.
Also to appear before the Senator Philip Aduda, PDP, FCT, led Committee on Power, Steel Development and Metallurgy are the management of Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, as well as Chief Executive Officers, managers of all generation, distribution and transmission companies.
Disclosing this weekend during an oversight function to the Ministry of Power, Aduda, who disagreed with the Ministry’s position on the 4,500 megawatts of electricity it claimed the power sector is generating, said that with his daily monitoring of the situation and reports he gets everyday, the production level, as at Friday, was 3,717 megawatts, just as he stressed that all hands must be on deck to give Nigerians electricity if the economy of the country must grow.
