Nigerians can't wait any longer for steady power supply - Fashola

New minister of power, works and housing, Babatunde Raji
Fashola, has told staff of the Ministry of Power that
Nigerians had waited long enough to get power, hence,
the federal government had no choice than to deliver.
Speaking when he assumed office yesterday, he said
Nigerians were anxiously waiting for results.
He said his thoughts were on how to bring together
processes and activities of all the ministries under his
supervision for effective service delivery.
Fashola assured the Ministry’s leadership of his willingness
to learn from them, describing them as “career people”
who had been on the job for a long time.
“We want information on what has been done, what
remained to be done, and what are the future plans, we
want to continue from there,” he said.
He said he was also interested on how best to harness the
available human resource and the physical assets in the
ministry.
According to him, the information he seeks will assist as
the administration hits the ground running, and that “we
need to do more so as to regain lost time.”
Also speaking, the Minister of State, Power, Works and
Housing, Mustapha Baba Shehuri, demanded for a detailed
ministerial briefing document to serve as a guide for
“proper take-off.”
Responding, the Director, Human Resources, Mrs. Grace
Papka, gave copies of the requested documents to the two
Ministers, in addition to a time-table for proposed
briefings by departments and agencies in the power sector.
