President Muhammadu
Buhari on Monday, again promised that his administration will give the highest
possible priority to the rapid improvement of power supply across the country.
According to a
statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the
President spoke while granting audience to officials of CGGC, the Chinese
Construction Company working on the Mambilla Power Project.
Adesina quoted the
President as saying that it was quite regrettable that power generation in
Nigeria had failed to keep pace with national needs over the years.
To salvage the
situation, the President said his administration would therefore ensure that
the Mambilla project and other unfinished hydro-power projects in the country
are completed expeditiously to boost power supply in the country.
“I am very much
interested in Mambilla and other hydro-power projects, not only for the
improvement of power but also for irrigation as both power and irrigation
projects will help to improve the lives of Nigerians.
“I am going to ask for
details of the Mambilla Hydro-Power Project and others. Very soon, we will get
together and redefine the project agreements for faster results,” Buhari
reportedly said.
