‘’This new presidential working group will coordinate ad-hoc committee and other efforts on a national scale, and report progress fortnightly to Mr. President,’’ the statement clarified.
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the composition of a Power Sector Reform Coordination Working Group, under the leadership of Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo , in a bid to consolidate the efforts of the federal and state governments to fix the sector.
According to the statement, membership of the group comprises Governor of Kaduna State, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, representing the Nigeria Governors’ Forum as well as the National Economic Council and the Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari, who leads the German Government/Siemens initiative to improve power supply.
The statement recalled that in November 2019, the NEC had constituted an ad-hoc Committee to determine the nature and extent of state governments’ ownership of Distribution Companies and provide feedback on the challenges afflicting the power sector reforms.
