The controversy over the removal of fuel subsidy has again brought to the fore the challenges in the power sector.

Consequently, experts suggest that revamping the power sector and making it work optimally to the satisfaction of Nigerians will reduce the pressure on consumers who still need generators as an alternative source of power.Charging the Bola Tinubu-led government, experts in the energy sector believe a quick fix of the power sector can help to cushion the effect of subsidy removal.

“It will be dangerous to just remove subsidy and still sit back and watch the power sector remain the way it is. How will people do their businesses? The first major area to fix under the new regime of removal of subsidy is the power sector.” According to Oyedotun, the power sector problem had lingered for long and no particular administration or company could be held responsible, hence the most important task before the Tinubu government was to find a lasting solution.

“In the area of coverage, I believe this government can do more. For example, you can imagine 4 states being covered by only one Disco. It’s absolutely not going to give the maximum results. “I believe each state can key into this and business will be opening and more jobs will be created. We should be out of the challenges in the sector if the states join in the struggle.”Clarifying the issue regarding the power sector being in the exclusive list and how the state can still come in, Engineer Oyedotun said, it is still possible as it is similar to what even obtains at the moment.
