The
chairman of the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), Dr.
Sam Amadi, has said that Nigeria’s quest for regular power supply is
attainable before year 2016.
Dr
Amadi made the assertion in Minna, Niger State, yesterday at The
Redeemed Evangelical Mission (TREM Church) town hall meeting on the
power sector. He said the nations’s power needs can be met with 12,000
Mw.
“Life has thaught us that nothing is impossible,” he said. “We can make 30,000 Mw within the next one year if we want.”
Dr
Amadi disclosed that the Commission has issued licences to independent
private power plant operators for generation of over 20,000 megawatts
(Mw) of power within the next three years.
He assured that with all the efforts put in place, power generation will surpass the target by 2016.
