The Minister of Power, Professor Chinedu Nebo has applauded the successes already recorded in the power sector transformation agenda. Professor Nebo who spoke with a cross section of the Nigerian media recently in Abuja said that slow and steady progress has been recorded especially in government's efforts to boost power supply in some parts of the country.
In a definitive tone of assurance, the Minister stated that "we are determined to give light to Nigerians and we will surely do that". Indeed, government's interventions in critical projects in the generation, distribution and transmission companies have led to obvious improvement in power supply in some parts of the country as evidenced by a litany of testimonies across the country.
Recently jubilation broke out in parts of Anambra State South East Nigeria, in appreciation of significant improvement in electricity. Also two weeks ago, Mr. Frank Ilogu, Manager of the White View Hotels in Akwa acknowledged the 24/7 power supply in that city. Mr. Ilogu said that his public acknowledgement was to give kudos to the federal government and to certify that the impact has brought a lot of positive changes in the hospitality industry as funds which hitherto were used for diesel purchase to power generator sets are now being used to address other needs of the sector.
