Tinubu determined to reform Power sector – Shettima

Vice President Kashim Shettima has said the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu remains determined to reform and strengthen Nigeria’s power sector.

He said while the promise of every nation rests on its abundance, Nigeria cannot afford to gamble with energy security.

The Vice President, who spoke yesterday in Abuja when he commissioned the new head office of the Nigerian Electricity Liability Management Company (NELMCO) in Asokoro District, said what the administration is set out to achieve requires a commitment to data-driven decision-making, intelligent use of technology in asset management, and stronger partnerships with both local and international stakeholders.

Above all, it requires that governance, transparency, and accountability remain the guiding principles of this institution. This is why the commissioning of this headquarters must symbolise a new phase of modernisation, efficiency, and forward-thinking leadership.

“This administration remains resolute in its commitment to reform and strengthen the power sector. Permit me to commend the Board, Management, and staff of NELMCO for your dedication. Yours is a task that often goes unnoticed, yet it is foundational to everything we seek to achieve in this sector. You are, in many ways, the custodians of the sector’s credibility,” he stated in a statement by his spokesman, Stanley Nkwocha.

Underscoring the crucial role NELMCO plays in the power sector, Senator Shettima said the electricity firm represents the nation’s commitment to confronting “the burdens of yesterday so that they do not mortgage the possibilities of tomorrow.”
