He assured the Minister that all agreements to supply gas to enable smooth running of the plant had been concluded with Shell. He also informed the Minister of UAE’s plans to invest in the power transmission and distribution across Nigeria.

The Minister of Power said the Federal Government would welcome genuine investors, willing to transform the power sector. He also assured Al Taffaq that the Ministry would continue to collaborate with the UAE in its areas of investments in Nigeria.

Following the privatization of Nigeria’s power sector, there have been many issues in the sector.

Recently, the Federal Government of Nigeria, through the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) planned to withdraw the licenses of eight power distribution companies (DisCos) over breaches of some provisions of the Electric Power Sector Reform Act.

The breaches bother on the failure of 8 DisCos to meet the minimum remittance threshold.
