He said “Today, you will hear that a particular part of the ministry of power has been shifted to another organisation, which I believe is an aberration of the concept,”
“For example, Nigeria Bulk Electricity Trading Company, there is a tug of war. Where does the organisation belong? Is it in power or is it in the Ministry of Finance? There is an issue of Hydro-Power Development Authority, is it going to the presidency, or to power?
“I believe that there are political machinations not allowing power sector to grow in this country.”
