Chineme Okafor in Abuja
The federal government yesterday again assured Nigerians that the country would soon witness revolutionary changes in her power sector notwithstanding obvious extant challenges bedevilling sustainable power supply nationwide.
The nationwide power supply has continued to fluctuate recently with the government setting responsive measure including the inauguration of a technical committee to investigate the incessant power system collapses in the grid network.
The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, who sounded upbeat on the government’s ability to deliver qualitative and quantitative electricity across Nigeria, stated at the presentation of the ministry’s scorecard as part of the mid-term achievements of the President Goodluck Jonathan administration in Abuja, claiming that the government has so far performed creditably in the power sector and would go ahead to consolidate on recorded gains.
Nebo said the consolidation plan through government’s reform programmes in the sector will see improvement in duration of power supply by 16 to 24 hours per day, adding that it anticipated all efforts of the government in this regard to come through by the last quarter of 2014. Parts of the consolidation plans include the coming into full stream of various power projects under the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPPs).
