The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has tasked all stakeholders in the power sector to improve their performance to enhance electricity supply in the country.
Adelabu, speaking at the Ministerial Retreat on the Electricity Policy and Strategic Implementation Plan on Thursday in Abuja, said that the performance of the stakeholders in the power sector would lead to enhanced electricity supply.
He added that before he accepted the appointment, he was asked to sign a performance bond and anybody found to be the clog in the wheel of progress would not be spared.
“The agencies are not sitting on an island. They were created to accelerate performance,” he said.
Adelabu stated that the policy that was currently in use in the power sector was obsolete and had been in existence since 2001, stressing that it was due for evaluation.
According to him, the policies and agreement reached at the retreat will support the transformation roadmap of the power sector.
“This transformation will cut across the value chain of the power sector from generation to distribution.
“From this retreat, we will come up with a set of policies that relatively agreed upon by all industry operators so as to ensure that the sector has a sustainable and enduring framework,” he said.
