Electricity distribution companies in the country say they have offered to return their licences to the federal government on two different occasions.

Sunday Oduntan, executive director of research and advocacy of the Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED), was reacting to a statement credited to Saleh Mamman, minister of power, that DisCos should either show they have enough capacity to distribute electricity or step aside for other investors.

Oduntan told ARISE TV in an interview on Monday that the federal government refused the offer on both occasions.

ANED is the umbrella body of the DisCos.

“We believe that as long as the government or regulator do the right thing that is consistent with the wordings and tenets of the agreement signed with the private investors, they are free to take any action as long as the rule of law is observed,” he said.

“As far as we are concerned, we have taken our licences to them, before two times, one during the tenure of Jonathan. We said thank you for selling to us, take we are no more interested. It is called force majeure in law. Give us our money back. They said no; we are not taking it from you. They gave it back to us that we should keep on running it.

“During Buhari’s time, we said we are no more interested. They said no. For us to have filed force majeure tells you we are not a desperate set of people. All their concern is to be able to recover their costs. What we all want is electricity.”

There have been calls from various quarters for the federal government to review the privatisation process that held in 2013 resulting in the unbundling of the power sector.

Dear Discos,
Please, package your license put it in front of Minister of power's door. Move 20meters away and call him that you dropped something at his door step.

If he ask you why, tell him it's in the best interest of Nigerians.

cool



This Saleh Mamman is a disaster waiting to happen in the power sector.. you sacked the Rural Electrification Boss because she insisted no new village must be connected to the National grid except Electricity Generation and Distribution Increases, Now that she is with UN and they have replaced her with another Haboki, They have started giving approval for more and more northern villages to connect to the power grid, depleting the little capacity we have for industries

Lol...

Submitting license back to FG got a lot.

*NERC ceases to exist...(aboki job loss. Na people wey wan create bokoharam agency go lose another one?)

*Power Supply would be stable... recently, there's been a debate about Siemens taking over our power systems... Germans nor dey joke.

*Business would crumble....the politicians of generators importation and mirage fuel subsidy ninjas become broke ass niggas niccur

Boko Haram would go extinct.... Don't really know how. It requires 7th degree Fourier Transform Analysis. But we all know businesses would be easy to do down South.

And I’m supposed to believe this?

Share the details of the return and what you were demanding from the FG.

The FG sold to you and still funded you to equip yourselves but you all coped the money and still want to return the company and collect money. Even GEJ as daft as he was won’t accept such let alone PMB.

Return licences with the clause that says FED govt will pay each one of them like 8billion dollars. Why won't they want to cash out now? Who were the crazy cows that even drafted these contracts with them and signed the MOUs? People have sold this country long time ago.
