There appears to be no end in sight to the roadblocks on the path of the Federal Government’s power sector reform initiative, investigations by our correspondent have revealed.
On one hand is the disagreement between the government and workers of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria as regards the payment of severance benefits, which took a new twist on Tuesday.
On the other hand is the issue of too many interests in the sector, which has led to the duplication of duties in the industry.
These, according to top sources at the Ministry of Power, may create further challenges to the smooth running of the sector.
A top official in the ministry said the Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, was working hard to address the challenges in the sector, but stressed that agitations by the labour unions and concerns raised by some interested parties in the sector might increase the bottlenecks hampering the smooth transformation of the sector.
