Prof. Barth Nnaji, has blamed perennial power supply in the country on inability of regulatory agencies to discharge their duties effectively.
The former minister of power stated this while speaking at a session of Senate Ad hoc Committee on Power investigating activities in the power sector on Wednesday in Abuja.
He regretted that in spite of huge investment in the sector over the years, Nigerians were yet to enjoy adequate power supply.
“Out of the amount of power that is distributed to transmission companies, only about 50 percent of it gets to the consumers; it is an incredible inefficiency in the power system that must be cured,’’ he said.
