APC CHIEFTAIN ERNEST NTUK EULOGISED TINUBU OVER ELECTRICITY ACT.*



A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and 2023 APC House of Representatives Candidate For Ikot Abasi/Mkpat Enin/Eastern Obolo Federal Constituency, Akwaibom State, Hon. Ernest Ntuk has panegerised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR for assenting to the electricity bill, which authorizes states, companies and individuals to generate, transmit and distribute electricity.


Hon. Ntuk stated that the new law empowers Nigeria’s 36 states to generate electricity, issue licenses to private investors who have the ability to operate mini-grids and power plants but such state licenses are not to extend to inter-state or transnational distribution of electricity.


He further explained that the new law provides a framework for the improvement of access to electricity in rural, unserved, underserved, peri-urban and urban areas through the use of conventional sources and renewable energy off-grid and mini-grid solutions.


Hon. Ernest Ntuk explained that The new Act signed by President Tinubu consolidates all legislations dealing with the electricity supply industry to provide an omnibus and ideal institutional framework to guide the post-privatization phase of the Nigerian Electricity Supply Industry and encourage private sector investments in the industry.


He further highlighted that the new Electricity Act mandates
electricity generating companies to either generate power from renewable energy sources, purchase power generated from renewable energy or procure any instrument representing renewable energy generation.


He called on Nigerians to support the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as he is determined to implement the article of faith encapsulated in the Renewed Hope documents to ensure a devolution of power to states to make them competitive in National Development.

Hahahahahaaha... Seriously sycophants are Cursed. A bill deliberated upon by the previous Assembly, signed by the previous govt and yet the new govt resigned it and their praises are being sung to the High heavens?
