Senate Begins Power Probe Today by sayyid(m): 8:12am On Sep 08, 2015 |
The Senate will on Tuesday begin a probe of the
Nigerian power sector from 1999 till date.
The probe will cover the regimes of former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, the late Umaru
Yar’Adua and former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
The Senator Abubakar Kyari-led Senate Ad- Hoc
Committee on Power, inaugurated by the Senate
President, Bukola Saraki, about two weeks ago,
made its plans public in a statement in Abuja, on
Monday.
The Clerk of the Committee on Power, Mr. Cletus
Ojabo, who signed the statement, said the probe
would be in form of investigative hearing and
interactive session with key stakeholders of the
sector for the period under review.
He said, “The investigation will centre on funds
appropriated for the power sector since 1999 to
the point of unbundling of the Power Holding
Company of Nigeria and all matters connected
therewith.”
It will be recalled that Saraki had at the
inauguration of the committee asked it to
conduct a comprehensive probe of questionable
practices in the power sector during the period
under review.
Saraki expressed sadness that the continued
absence of regular power supply in spite of the
huge investments in the sector was denying the
nation the desired development.
In response, the Committee chairman, Abubakar
Kyari, assured the Senate that the committee
would ensure that a thorough job was done for
the benefit of Nigerians.
Kyari explained that a careful look at the entire
power value chain comprising of generation,
transmission and distribution required a policy
review in order for Nigerians to fully benefit from
it.
He said, “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
170 million people, despite the huge resources
committed into it.
“This, compared with our contemporaries, is
highly regrettable. No wonder so many
companies have relocated from the shores of
this nation, due to increasing cost of production.” www.punchng.com/news/senate-begins-power-probe-today/ |
