Vice President Namadi Sambo on Friday in Abuja directed the release of funds for the payment of the salaries of members of staff of the Distribution Office of the PHCN in Yola.
Sambo gave the directive at a meeting he convened to address the challenges facing effective and efficient supply of power across the country.
He specifically directed the Ministry of Power and the Presidential Task Force on Power to ensure the release of the funds.
Sambo ordered them to address the issues of salary, metering, payment for gas and other infrastructural needs in order to boost power supply.
He frowned at the idea of keeping transformers in the stores instead of mounting them to meet the need of power consumers.
Sambo announced the constitution of a technical committee to address the widening gap in energy delivery to Transmission Companies and payment for such deliveries.
