The House of Representatives on Monday assured Nigerians of its resolve to work with relevant stakeholders in the bid to improve power generation across the country.
Chairman, House Committee on Hydrological Services and HYPPADEC, Hon. Pascal Agbodike gave the assurance in Abuja, during the inaugural meeting of the Standing Committee, soliciting for the unalloyed cooperation and commitment to service of his contemporaries.
Hon. Agbodike noted that for a technical committee such as theirs, competence, commitment and hard work are key in making a headway.
He, therefore, urged all the members to be ready for a vigorous oversight of Hydrological Services and HYPPADEC in order to turn around the power generation and distribution services to serve as a boost to manufacturing activities nationwide.
He assured all the Agencies under Committee’s supervision of mutual working relationship in the bid to change the negative narrative of power supply for the better.
While responding to question on the Committee’s workplan towards achieving its mandate by the House leadership, the Committee will concentrate on oversight of HYPPADEC and other Hydrological Services installations across the country.
According to him, the HYPPADEC States are Niger, Plateau, Kogi, Kwara, Kaduna, Kebbi, Benue, Taraba, Gombe and Nasarawa.
