President Bola Tinubu is determined to strengthen and reform Nigeria’s power sector, Vice President Kashim Shettima has said.
Shettima said this while speaking at the commissioning of the new head office of the Nigerian Electricity Liability Management Company (NELMCO) in Abuja.
He stated that while the promise of every nation rests on its abundant resources, Nigeria as a country cannot afford to gamble with energy security.
The Vice President also assured that the current administration led by President Tinubu is committed to data-driven decision-making, intelligent use of technology in asset management, and stronger partnerships that would drive positive results in the energy sector.
“This administration remains resolute in its commitment to reform and strengthen the power sector. Permit me to commend the Board, Management, and staff of NELMCO for your dedication. Yours is a task that often goes unnoticed, yet it is foundational to everything we seek to achieve in this sector. You are, in many ways, the custodians of the sector’s credibility,” he stated.
Further speaking on the vital role NELMCO plays in the industry, Shettima said the electricity firm represents the nation’s commitment to confronting all the burdens of the past to avoid mortgaging the opportunities of the future.
“Whatever we do in investing in the capacity to solve problems that are often invisible but always consequential cannot reasonably be said to be enough unless we provide a lasting solution to these legacy challenges,” the VP said.
