A group under the auspices of the Nigerian Youth Treaty for Good Governance (NYTGG) has expressed dismay over numerous collapses of power grid and distribution inefficiency, which has put the country in darkness.
This was contained in a statement by the Chairman of the group, Abdullahi Sani, and made available to the media in Kaduna yesterday.
NYTGG, therefore, called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to restructure the power sector and sack the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, and the Managing Director of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Sule Ahmed Abdulaziz, under whose leadership the country has witnessed numerous collapses of power grid and distribution inefficiency.
The statement added that the persistent issues that have arisen in the power sector not only reflect poorly on the government but also cause widespread hardship for the citizens.
The Group stressed that countless families have been left in the dark, businesses have suffered immense losses, and the nation’s economy has been hindered by the failures associated with energy supply.
NYTGG expressed dismay that as a nation aspiring to join the ranks of top-performing economies globally, the country can no longer afford to ignore the detrimental impact that the failures of the Power Minister and the TCN leadership have on our collective development.
“It is on record that since the beginning of President Tinubu’s administration, Nigeria has experienced an unprecedented number of system collapses, leading to widespread blackouts across the country. “
