FG Threatens To Sack Non
Performing Contractors By June
The Federal Government has threatened to sack any of the contractors involved in the construction of its power transmission lines who fails to perform up to 50 per cent by the end of June. Governor EmanueUduaghan of Delta State
disclosed this to State House correspondents
at the end of the board meeting of the Niger
Delta Power Holding Company presided over
by *Vice President Amadi Sambo.*
Uduaghan said Sambo handed down the
warning when it was discovered that
transmission lines were one of the major
challenges hindering power supply in the
country. He quoted the vice president as saying that once such contracts are revoked at the end
of June, they would be re-awarded to
contractors that have been found to be
performing. The governor also said that the meeting identified shortage of gas supply as one of the major challenges hindering power supply. He said while reviewing the Independent
Power Plants being constructed across the
country, it was discovered that the units/
turbines in the Olorunshogo and Sapele
Power Plants had been complete with the
plants capable of generating 450MW and 250MW respectively. He however said that the plants could not
generate power because of the challenges of
gas supply just as it affects other plants. Uduaghan said President Goodluck Jonathan
had constituted a committee that will
address the challenge and expressed the
belief that the problem of power supply
would be addressed before the end of the
year. He said, “Unfortunately we have challenges
with gas supply affecting these two plants
(Olorunshogo and Sapele) just as it is also
affecting other plants across the country. The governor however said that in moving
forward, Nigerians must be prepared to pay
appropriately for power, saying it is not
cheap to generate and distribute power. Also, Minister of Power, Prof. Barth Nnaji,
expressed the belief that the measures that
would be suggested by the committee set up
by the president on gas supply would go a
long way in resolving the issue. He also disclosed that the President has
called for a power retreat with stakeholders
on power and gas expected to be in
attendance, assuring that the issue would be
resolved before the end of the month.
