The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammad on Friday highlighted some positive steps President Muhammadu Buhari has taken in the past one year.He insisted that Nigeria has never witnessed so many positive steps being taken in so short a time as Buhari has done in the past one year.
According to Mohammed: “The past one year has been momentous for Nigeria, as the President has taken some actions, mostly bold and highly visionary, that has now put Nigeria on an irreversible road to sustainable development. Never in the history of Nigeria have so many positive steps been taken in so short a time as Mr. President has done in the past one year.”
He said the current amount of power that reaches consumers will be more than double by the end of next year, adding that thousands of job will be created and will leapfrog the country into the next level of industrial and social development. “This is how Mr. President sums up the agreement: “Our goal is simply to deliver electricity to Nigerian businesses and homes. My challenge to Siemens, our partner investors in the distribution companies, the Transmission Company of Nigeria and the electricity regulator, is to work hard to achieve 7,000 megawatts of reliable power supply by 2021 and 11,000 megawatts by 2023 – in phases 1 and 2 respectively.
