PRESIDENT BUHARI WORKING HARD TO IMPROVE STATE OF SECURITY IN NIGERIA

President Muhammadu Buhari explains his unhappiness with the state of electricity in Nigeria, He identified that no country could develop without infrastructural means like; road, rail and power.

During an interview on Channels Television on Wednesday. He was asked if he is happy with the country’s capacity of electricity production.

He said his government is working very hard on the road. Try to imagine what was happening between Lagos to Ibadan six months ago and what it is now.

“We are doing from Lagos to Kano by rail, road from here to Kaduna to Kano. So we have to get the infrastructure right and then Nigerians will mind their own business.

But when the infrastructure is not there, the roads are not there, the rail is virtually killed, no power, what do we expect people to do?”

Nigeria currently has the capacity to produce 13,000 megawatts of electricity, but presently, the country produces just 4,000 megawatts on the national grid.

Buhari had in May 2018 queried the spending of $16bn on power projects during the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

But finding himself in the same position right now, he cannot do it better than his predecessors who have spent billions of dollars to effect a change in the power sector but failed.
