The Senate on Tuesday blamed the hiccups in the power sector to lack of coordination among the various players responsible for power administration in the country.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Power, Senator Gabriel Suswam, made the assertion while responding to questions from reporters in Abuja.The Committee has been conducting an investigative public hearing on a motion titled: “Power Sector Recovery Plan and the Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic.”
“The reason why, in spite of the huge expenditure, we have been unable to achieve anything because there is no proper coordination. The blame game among them has to stop. Once there is an alignment and proper coordination, that yes, if we generate 13,000 megawatts, and transmission is able to transmit at least 10,000 megawatts, and discos are able to absorb the 10,000, and there is a proper tariff, it makes the sector solvent.“Once there’s money in the sector, the other potential investors will come in. The banks will be able to also put in more money so that the sector will begin to run on its own.
