The Nigerian Senate has begged President Muhammadu Buhari to appoint a ‘substantive’ minister of power.
Senator Francis Alimikhena made the call while contributing to a motion raised.
The motion was sponsored by Senator Mustapha Bukar.
Alimikhene argued that the sector requires a separate minister who would focus on improving the country’s power situation.
The Senate further pleaded with the Federal Government to immediately incorporate SPVs for the implementation of the following alternative energy projects: hydro, solar, and wind power projects.
They also called on the federal government to employ qualified management team to take charge of the project development in the SPVs and gradually resource the companies in readiness for full operations when the projects are commissioned.
