President Goodluck Jonathan has issued a six-month ultimatum to managers of Nigeria’s electricity sector to ensure stable power supply across the country.
The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, made the President’s directive known in Abuja yesterday while inaugurating the new Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Mr. Ibrahim Waziri, who takes over from Mr. Hamman Tukur.
Prof. Nebo said that the president had asked that results of government’s reforms in the power sector must become palpable to Nigerians across the country by June this year.
Currently, Nigeria has a total installed generation capacity of 6,976.40 megawatts (MW) but transmits less than 4,000MW.
