President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday said he had lived up to his campaign pledge to Nigerians that he would make the power sector a priority for his administration.
Jonathan spoke during the inauguration of the Olorunsogo II Power Station in Ogun State, Punch reports.
The power plant is a 750MW Nigerian Integrated Power Project.
“I have lived up to my campaign pledge to make the power sector a priority,”Jonathan told the gathering that included members of the Federal Executive Council, Peoples Democratic Party chiefs from Ogun State and leading traditional rulers.
“The interface between 100 per cent ownership of the power sector by government and 100 percent ownership by private sector will soon be over.
“In the next two years, Nigerians can take power sector for granted like it is obtainable in other countries.”
Jonathan said although it was capital intensive to make a difference in the power sector, his administration had been tackling it headlong.
