Nigerians may soon experience significant improvement in the supply of power across the country. Yes, this latest claim is no different from the ones you've heard in the past. But as we move deeper into Buhari's next level, there's certainly nothing bad in keeping hope alive.



According to a report by Daily Times, it appears the Buhari administration is making efforts toward improving power supply in the country.

The DG of Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission (ICRC), Mr Chidi Izuwah has in a statement issued by the commission on Friday in Abuja, rekindled the hope that attaining power stability in Nigeria remains a top priority and that the Buhari administration will ensure this is achieved.




Izuwah gave the assurance during a consultative visit by Mr Lamu Audu, the Managing Director, Mainstream Energy Solutions Limited.

Izuwah said that a multi stakeholder collaborative platform would be put in place to ensure that challenges in the sector were addressed on a sustainable basis. He said that lack of new investments was one of the several bottlenecks inhibiting smooth operations in the sector.


The diector-general urged the management of the company and other players in the power generation business to lay emphasis on capacity and energy charge.

‘‘All parties need to seek for solutions that work for government and at the same time support and encourage private investment in the economy,” he said.


Izuwah also pledged total commitment of the ICRC in ensuring that infrastructural transformation agenda of President Muhammadu Buhari, including the provision of stable power for Nigerians was realised.
