Sack Fashola, Appoint An Engineer – Senator Sani Urges Buhari

Kaduna
legislator and chairman of the senate committee on domestic debt and
loans, Shehu Sani has spoken up regarding the lack of electricity being
experienced across the country.

According to a report by Daily Post,
Sani said there was no excuse for the kind of hardship Nigerians were
facing, describing the lack of power supply as unacceptable and
embarrassing.

Speaking further, Senator Sani called on
President Muhammadu Buhari to review his appointments, advising him not
only to appoint an electrical engineer, but one who has the knowledge
of the industry.

His words: “We are in a state of
paralysis, and there is urgent need to appoint a reputable electrical
engineer to manage the affairs of power, independent of other
responsibilities.

“Distribution Companies (DISCOs) were
now distributing darkness despite increment in electricity tariff;
private power investors have failed the nation by moving manageable
power epilepsy to a complete paralysis.”

Sani went on to beseech the President to
review the defunct Power Holdings Company of Nigeria assets, adding
that privatisation of power regime had not yielded positive dividends in
the life of the average Nigerian.
