The latest survey, representing the pulse of the nation, showed that the majority of respondents were optimistic about the dividends of the planned privatisation programme, with 49 per cent believing that the performance of PHCN would improve if the sector was privatised.
However, 25per cent said PHCN’s performance would remain the same, while 17per cent said power supply would go down if the power utility company was privatised

On the current performance of PHCN, the survey showed that only four per cent of the respondents said PHCN was performing satisfactorily.
