The Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Power (PTFP), Engr. Beks Dagogo-Jack has urged Nigerians to be patient with the pace of the power sector reforms, noting that due to complexity of the situation, it cannot be resolved even in the next five years.
Dagogo-Jack, who was speaking at the fifth Board meeting of the Presidential Task Force on Power held last week, justified the launch of the Power sector Reform Roadmap 2.0, stressing that the need for effective transition in the sector made a review of the original document imperative.
He stated that, “The road to power adequacy in Nigeria has been a tortuous journey, given the history of past failures and obstacles that continues to exist in the sector up to date. It can not and will not be fully resolved in just 2, 3 or even 5 years.
He added that, “However, it is not an insurmountable challenge and remains very attainable. Roadmap 2.0 is the sector managers’ due diligence initiative to ensure the continued integrity of our planning projections and to bring the revised version into better alignment with emerging realities as we set the stage for the transition of the electricity industry to full market mode.”
