Power probe: Reps invite ministers, NERC, others

Others to appear before the committee are the managements of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Plc, the Bureau of Public Procurement and the NDPHC.

The committee is to extend the invitation after grilling top officials of the Transmission Company of Nigeria for two consecutive days, Monday and Tuesday, without getting satisfactory answers to question bothering on take-or-pay agreement with a power Generation Company, Azura Power West Africa Limited, forcing the country to pay the firm $33m monthly whether it supplies power or not.Chairman of the committee, James Faleke, said, “We will invite all these agencies.

Faleke made this known at the committee’s continued investigative hearing in Abuja on Tuesday, where the lawmakers faulted the failure of the TCN to construct a power line to convey energy from Azura power plant, forcing the company to joggle the Osogbo-Benin power line between power stations.All rights reserved.

'D committee r grilling top officials of TCN w/out getting satisfactory answers 2 question bothering on take-or-pay agreement with a power Generation Company, Azura Power West Africa Limited, forcing d country to pay d firm $33m monthly whether it supplies power or not.' No cry

Stop probe you these law maker.Declare emergency onpower sector.Let the States governors handle electricity distribution in their respective states.We see what Bola Tinubu wanted to do in Lagos but the people who never want electricity failure to be things of the past stopped it.

Nothing never comes out of a board invitation. Just more blackouts.
