President Muhammadu Buhari has restated that the goal to increase electricity generation to 25,000 Megawatts in six years is on the course, adding that the plan, through the partnership between the Federal Government of Nigeria and German Siemens, is on course as the first batch of the transformers has arrived in Nigeria already.
Buhari who disclosed this yesterday in Abuja when he chaired the third ministerial performance review retreat for ministers, permanent secretaries, and top government functionaries reiterated that the Power Sector has remained a critical priority for the Administration.
He stated that the implementation of a Willing Buyer-Willing Seller Policy introduced by his administration has opened up opportunities for increased delivery of electricity to underserved homes and industries.
The President also said the agricultural sector has experienced significant growth and shortfall in food production and food importation bills have both been reduced significantly, but they are still working tirelessly to solve the problem of the rising cost of food.
