He urged colleagues in the oil and gas industry to prepare to take equal initiative as the government of President Bola Tinubu would properly handle industry challenges.
He enthused,
“The power sector is very critical to both the government and national economy. This is why the President has asked me to visit all the power plants in the country and assess their functionality.
“From my assessment, The Calabar Power Plant of the NDPHC is the most active. I’m very satisfied. We are encouraging power installation and generation.
“It is not going to be business as usual. Players in the power sector must be up and about as the Federal Government is reforming the sector for optimal power generation and distributions in order to meet the huge demands of Nigerians.”
According to him, the Federal Executive Council and the Federal Privatization Council are considering the much-discussed plant privatization with the Cross River State government.
