He stated further that “it takes a lion heart to take a lion share,this perhaps informed the decision of Mr president to choose and inaugurated Chief Bayo Adelabu as the Minister of Power.”
“Any leader that worths it’s onion would want to put an individual that has a very good credential to mount a post for sustainability of agenda that would yield a positive results.”
“The Nigerian Citizens have suffered enough and hope a day would come when they would begin to enjoy the dividends of good governance in the power sector. It is understandable that the economic growth of a Nation rests solely on stable power supply.,
The transition of the power sector nomenclature from NEPA to PHCN and now to Gencos, TCN and Discos is another catastrophe considering government futile intervention for stability which has yielded no positive change so far.
