Power sector privatisation should be reviewed

ActionAid, the international development organization, says the privatization of Nigeria’s power sector has failed and should be reviewed by the Federal Government if it wants the country to make progress in the electricity industry. Speaking at a press briefing on the state of the nation after the agency’s 9th Annual General Meeting in Abuja, “the ActionAid’s Country Director, Mrs. Ojobo Atuluku, described the privatization as an act of injustice to Nigerians by the Federal Government. She said, given the relevance of electricity to the growth of industry and sustenance and survival of the SMEs, the government can no longer abandon its responsibility of ensuring that the critical sector of power management works.”
