The Senate will on Tuesday begin investigation into
alleged unwholesome practices in the power sector.
A statement by the Clerk of Senate Ad-hoc Committee on
Power, Cletus A. Ojabo, said the power sector probe will
be in form of investigative hearing/interactive session.
Ojabo said the investigation will centre on funds
appropriated for the power sector since 1999 and the
unbundling of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria
(PHCN).
The statement was however silent on those that had
been invited to appear before the probe panel.
It is expected that all those who played key roles in the
power sector since 1999 including ministers and heads
of government departments and parastatals will appear
before the panel.
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, inaugurated the ad-hoc
committee to conduct a comprehensive probe of
allegations of questionable practices in the power
sector.
The committee headed by Senator Abubakar Kyari,
(Borno North) is charged with the task of looking into the
entire power value chain including generation,
transmission and distribution with a view to identifying
what the problems in the sector are.
Saraki noted at the inauguration of the committee three
weeks ago that the task before the panel is huge.
The Senate President frowned at the continued absence
of regular supply of electricity despite the country’s huge
investments in the sector.
Kyari, in his remarks, detailed the nature of the
investigation his committee is saddled with.
He said: “A close look at the entire power value chain
(generation, transmission and distribution) calls for
review of our policies in order to obtain optimum
performances across the board.
“The abysmal performance of the generation segment is

no longer news in view of the current deteriorating power
supply which hovers around 4,600MW for a population
of over 170million people, despite the huge resources
committed into it.”
