Nigerian Governor Faults Power Sector Privatization

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El Rufai, has faulted the power sector privatization, saying that Nigeria has lost nearly 15 years of energy sector investment. <br />He says clear roadmaps for structural reforms set up by the Obasanjo government in the electrical, power, and oil and gas sectors were protracted or abandoned by his immediate successors. <br />El Rufai, says investments in power generation and transmission infrastructure that were initiated by the Obasanjo government were either put on hold between 2007 and 2010 or largely dumped. <br />The Kaduna state governor also says the first version of the electricity industry bill initiated by him was not put into law.
