Abuja – President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Abuja pledged that his administration would ensure steady electricity supply for faster socio-economic development.
Buhari stated this after being briefed by the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Power, Amb. Godknows Igali.
According to the president, his administration will give the fullest possible attention to boosting power supply in Nigeria because it was convinced that steady electricity will launch the country into faster economic growth.
He said that the Federal Government had already identified the critical problems in Nigeria’s power sector and was taking appropriate actions to address them.
The president revealed that his administration had also prioritised certain measures in its action plan to boost electricity supply in Nigeria.
“The problems besetting our power sector are not difficult to identify. Therefore, priorities can be easily set in order to tackle them.
“The problems are more with transmission than generation, and we equally need to secure the power infrastructure round the country.
“We will address all these issues,’’ he assured.
Igali had informed the president that power generation in Nigeria, which was 1,750megawatts (MW) in 1999, had now peaked at 4,600MW.
He added that gas was available to take generation to 5,500 MW in a short time, but that the country needed to expand its electricity infrastructure to accommodate additional power generation.

Good, so long the Federal Government had already identified the critical problems in Nigeria’s power sector and will be taking appropriate step to address the problem, it is also consequential for the government not to rush in providing a short term solution because of pressure from some people who thinks this should be achieve in few days.

Baba should take his time and look critically into the problem bedeviling the power sector and provide a long and lasting solution to the problem.

What is more important now is the expansion of electricity infrastructure to accommodate additional power generation.

Thanks to GEJ for laying the foundation.
