Benjamin Ezra Dikki is the Director General/Chief Executive, Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE). In this interview with ONYEKA-AJUMOBI ONOCHIE shortly after the bid opening for Afam and Kaduna power plants in Abuja, he said the bureau can now beat its chest and proclaim success for the nation’s power sector reforms. Excerpt:
I recall that bids for Afam and Kaduna power plants had earlier been conducted; why are you repeating them?
Yes, you are correct. But if you recall, none of the bids received for Afam power plant and Kaduna DISCO met the minimum score of 750 marks required to pass the technical evaluation during the first round of sale of PHCN successor companies.
Therefore, the BPE invited fresh bids from all the pre-qualified bidders, in accordance with approval of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP) to commence another bid process for the two successor companies. This entailed inviting fresh bids from all the shortlisted bidders that paid the required $20,000 fee for the bid documents.
