In this interview with ROSELINE OKERE, he spoke on the challenges in Nigeria’s power sector and the role of the private sector. That would be power that is off grid, fully integrated generation and distribution; connectable to the national grid or as stand-alone, but providing power to Nigerian universities and their catchment areas. In the President’s 2018 Budget speech to Senate on November 7th, he said the country still faces challenges in transmission and distribution. It is so that for these clusters, where the Discos know they’ve got customers, and you know you have willing buyers of power, the stakeholders can walk backwards to a location of the power generation. We have helped generate over 4,000MW of power in the last five years, comprising independent power projects like Ogorode, Benin, Omotosho, Olorunsogo, and Alaoji power plants.
