Oshiomhole hails power sector privatisation


The Governor of Edo State, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole, has commended the privatisation of the power sector by the Federal Government stating that the move has helped to fast-track development in the sector.

The governor, who stated this while speaking at the Azura transaction closure summit in Abuja, explained that even as a unionist he had always appreciated the fact that the challenge of poverty could only be fought through sustained and concerted efforts at wealth creation.
He said the private sector’s lead in this direction must be appreciated by all.
While commending the initiator of Azura project, David Ladipo, for his doggedness and foresight, Oshiomhole said the project was adjudged the first large-sized Independent Power Producer in Nigeria.
