Power Trouble; Emir Sanusi Attacks Fashola, Takes A Swipe At Him by Daniyomex(m): 10:46am On Jul 14, 2016 |
Emir Sanusi of Kano takens on
Fashola
– Muhammad Sanusi II, the Emir of
Kano has said the Fashola is just
another figure head in the power
sector
– Sanusi said all controls have been
taken away from Fashola’s grips
– The Emir said the problem
experienced in the power sector is
also affecting the transport sector.
The Emir of Kano, Muhammadu
Sanusi II has said that virtually all
arms of the electricity value chain
has been taken away from the
control of Babatunde Fashola, the
minister of power, works and
housing.
The Emir of Kano, Alhaji
Muhammadu Sanusi II, has said that
Fashola is playing the figure head
role in the power sector.
Sanusi stated this during a
stakeholders’ workshop on Road
Transport Management and Mass
Transit Operations in Nigeria,
organised by the Federal Ministry of
Transportation in Abuja on
Wednesday, July 13.
He said: “Very often in this country,
we do not give as much focus as we
should to the organic link between
the objectives, our strategies,
processes, procedures and our
results.
“And one example I’ve always given
is the power sector in Nigeria. I
used to ask this question that,
‘please what really is the Power
minister responsible for?’ And it
sounds like a silly question.
“But the truth is, I don’t know about
now, but as of the time I was in
government, could anyone
legitimately hold the Power minister
responsible for delivering power?
The PHCN (Power Holding Company
of Nigeria) was privatised by the
Bureau of Public Enterprises; the
Ministry of Petroleum Resources is
responsible for gas; regulation and
pricing is done by the NERC
(Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
Commission), which is an
independent body.
“By the time you took out everything
you need in power, the minister has
nothing. He controls nothing. The
Power minister cannot boast that I
will deliver 1,000 megawatts because
he can actually build a gas powered
turbine and not have the gas. This
is because the gas is under the
control of a different ministry.
“Also, for hydro, the dams belong to
the Federal Ministry of Water
Resources and the sites around the
dams belong to the state
governments. The water turbines
belong to the Ministry of Power, but
if you want to use hydro, the
Ministry of Power does not have the
dams. The point I’m making is that
one of the reasons why we’ve not
made much improvement on power
is due to a lack of coordinating
mechanisms.”
He added that “I kind of think that
we can have a similar problem with
transport. We need to have some
framework for coordination and
harmonisation for a clear division of
roles and responsibilities, and also
for ensuring that everything is
mainstreamed into one strategic
objective. So, whoever is responsible
for any part of the transportation
chain should have a forum where
you come and coordinate activities.” |

Op, you're either a compulsive liar or you have comprehension problems. The emir didn't attack Fashola in any way rather he talked about the handicapped situation any power minister in Nigeria works under. Please get your facts right |
