Stephen Ogaji, the chairperson of the NESI market participants and stakeholders roundtable planning committee, in a statement on Sunday, said ten years after the privatisation of the Nigerian power sector, market participants, government agencies and institutions, as well as other key stakeholders will gather at the PTDF auditorium in Abuja to assess the performance of the sector and its challenges, as a step towards charting a pathway for the progression of the power sector.
He explained that the three-day roundtable event will have eight plenary sessions which will encompass the various segments of the NESI: power generation; gas to power; power distribution, transmission, metering and customer centricity, renewable energy and climate change, access to finance, liquidity and recapitalization.
Consequently, he said while acknowledging the ten-year post-privatization milestone, under the umbrella of NMPSR, the operators and other stakeholders of NESI are also seeking to assess the evolution of the privatisation, assess the areas of constraint, and determine a roadmap that will provide the pathway to the progress that is currently impeded by various factors.
