‘Why Our Power Problem’ll Persist’

The desire of the Federal Government to provide steady power in the country would remain a dream until all the dead wood in the system are weeded out.

The Director-General, Kogi State Directorate for Rural Development, Dr. Paul Attah made this assertion in an interactive session with members of the state correspondents’ chapel in Lokoja, the state capital.

He said that meaningful result had not been achieved in the power sector despite the billions of naira committed there because the money did not to electricity, and noted that corruption and the recycling of unproductive manpower had retarded the growth of the nation.

Attah suggested that proper management that would restore sanity must be constituted to tackle the problem and, therefore, called for the privatisation of the power sector, where new blood would injected into the system to bring positive results.
