• Contractors, power tussle, others threaten NIPP projects
• Why minister was transferred
• Presidency ‘helpless’ as contractors frustrate scheme
A VITAL platform on which the Federal Government’s electricity reforms rest remains shaky despite all efforts to shore it up.
The National Integrated Power Project (NIPP) which was nearly stalled by power tussle and conflict of interests years back seems to be bogged down again by these issues.
And following the withdrawal of police officers from private individuals and facilities, the kidnapping of officials of NIPP contracting firms has been on the increase. Also on the increase, The Guardian learnt Wednesday, is the vandalism and theft of sensitive items at the sites of the contractors.
This is coming as fresh facts emerged on Tuesday on why former Minister of State for Power, Darius Ishaku, was redeployed. The Guardian learnt that the man took an action that is now affecting the delivery date of the NIPP.
