President Goodluck Jonathan yesterday promised improved power supply before the end of the year.

The President gave the assurance during a meeting with members of the Nigerian community in Trinidad and Tobago, where he is on a state visit.

“There will be a significant improvement in the power sector before the end of 2012,” he said.

The President also promised Nigerians of his government' resolve to fight corruption.

He said Nigeria will honour the Air Services Agreement between it and Trinidad and Tobago.

The President said the agreement, which covers direct flights between the two countries, will come into operation.

The Nigerian community called on the President to intervene in the $21,000 bond paid by Nigerians to the government of Trinidad and Tobago as a precondition for obtaining visa.

The request was brought before the President when Jonathan met with Nigerians living in the country.

Jonathan said he would ensure that an agreement is reached on the issue.

This, he said, would form part of the bilateral talks, between him and Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar.

The President assured his audience that his administration would address all challenges and ensure that relations between the two countries are strengthened.

The Nigerian High Commissioner, Musa Jon Jen, said over 30 Nigerian professors and 400 doctors and nurses work in the country.
