The power sector has failed, and nobody is ready to tackle the issue - Bukola saraki

Senator Bukola saraki said that the power sector has failed and nobody is ready to "tackle the issue headlong".
Saraki resume after taking a three-week break at the red chambers, to state that the power sector is very poor. He also said that the lawmakers
are inspired to find a lasting solution to the " crippling deficit ".
According to him he said ,“Distinguished colleagues, before we left for the break, myself and a select few met with stakeholders in the power sector to get an understanding of why no progress has been made thus far, despite the best intention; and the revelations were mind-boggling.

“There had been errors in the privatisation process and the model by which the power sector is being operated – whether at generation or distribution – will never take us where we need to be. It has failed and nobody appears willing to tackle the issue head-on in order to bring about a permanent resolution.

“I have mandated the senate committee on power to continue the consultation with the relevant parties to forge a path to solving our crippling power deficit. After all, if we are going to drive Nigerian industry, we need to resolve this and fast.”
