President Goodluck Jonathan has again assured Nigerians that his administration is working hard to ensure that the citizens enjoy uninterrupted power supply before the end of his tenure in 2015.
A statement from the office of his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, quoted Jonathan as giving the assurance while receiving members of the board of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company led Vice- President Namadi Sambo, in Abuja on Tuesday.
The President said his administration would do everything possible to ensure that all the plans and projects aimed at guaranteeing stable power supply were implemented successfully.
He said this was informed by the understanding that steady power supply was important to national development.
“We all know the importance of power. We look forward to a time when Nigerians can enjoy uninterrupted power supply from the beginning to the end of a year and we are working hard to ensure that that objective is attained within the life-span of this administration,” he said.
The President urged members of the board and management of the company which was established to oversee the implementation of the National Integrated Power Projects to ensure they contributed effectively to meeting the country’s power needs.
Sambo assured Jonathan that the firm would deliver all the medium-size gas-fired NIPP power generating stations as well as associated transmission projects on schedule.
This, he explained, would go a long way in ensuring that the administration’s promise of steady power supply was fulfilled.
“We will work relentlessly to fulfil our mandate on time,” the Vice-President said.
