There is strong indication to believe that the federal government has taken a firm stand to review the wobbling power sector.
The federal government will consider an overhaul of the private power sector, according to key government officials who attended the National Economic Council meeting on Thursday.
The power sector was privatized in 2013, but some 80 million Nigerians remain without access to power, and elsewhere the grid is plagued by frequent blackouts, leaving businesses and consumers reliant on power generators.
“The entire sector is broken,” Kaduna state governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai said following the meeting.
