Stakeholders In Power Sector To Meet Monthly
The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatude Fashola has unfolded a 13-point agenda to drive efforts towards enhanced power supply in the country.
Disclosing this on Monday, during his media briefing with power generation, distribution and transmission companies held in Abuja, the minister said the agenda was designed for a more effective monitoring of the sector.
He said, the initiative which would equally carry along other stakeholders would involve continuous public engagement on tariff collection, debts management, power generation, maintenance, ancillary service, discipline and dispatch orders.
Other area, Fashola mentioned include gas requirement and constraints, transmission constraints, 33kv load off take, imbalances-locations of excess over load safety, service quality, new captive and embedded generations, franchising and other issues relevant to the growth of the sector.
The minister stated that President Buhari has approved that stakeholders in the sector should meet monthly to discuss issues concerning the industry.
This is apparently due to the seriousness important the president attaches to the power sector to the general growth of Nigeria’s economy.
