ELECTRICITY HAS WORSENED LATELY, HASN’T IT?

Great party faithfuls, supporters and fellow Nigerians.

When Nigeria's telecommunications industry was privatized, it took a few years before the GSM revolution touched the lives of our masses. Today, almost every Nigerian above the age of 18 years can boast of a mobile phone.

The PDP federal government successfully handed over Nigeria's Power generation and distribution industry to new private owners on November 1, 2013. From that day onwards, most Nigerians had expected an immediate improvement in power supply but it doesn’t work that way.

We have to give time and support to our new private electricity corporate bodies; new systems are being created, redundant staff have been sacked, new professionals are being hired, also unpatriotic vandals (likely on the payroll of opposition parties) are being discovered and dealt with.

The current drop in electricity supply is really just a temporary setback; Nigerians must be rest assured that your party the PDP is committed to improving the lives of all Nigerians,especially as it concerns electricity. Our power sector reforms will continue to yield fruit.

The privatization of electricity in Nigeria was first muted in the 1980s; subsequent governments lacked the political will to implement decisive power reforms until the PDP came on board. The current administration of President Goodluck Jonathan accelerated the power reforms agenda and today we have substantially privatized electricity in Nigeria

Better days are coming in Nigeria; let’s remain committed to our great party and have faith in Nigeria.
