The Minister of State for Power, Hon Mohammed Wakil, has cautioned agencies within the ministry against infighting and confrontations.
The minister gave the advice in Abuja yesterday at the inauguration of the Technical Committee on the establishment of the Electricity Management Services Limited (EMSL). He noted that inter-agency disputes have negative impact on the implementation of government objectives for the power sector.
“We must never engage in disputes to the extent of engaging in press war,” he said. “Agencies must avoid taking to public domain operational issues that should be resolved within the ministry.”
“The transformation of the power sector has recorded so much progress that we cannot for whatever reasons fight each other over mandates. The ministry can no longer watch the infighting which has now reached the media. That is why this committee is conceived,” the minister added.
He further stated that the committee is to provide options and recommendations on how to ensure a synergy between the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) and the EMSL.
