EMIR OF KANO- LAMIDO SANUSI BLASTS FASHOLA

Former governor of the central bank of Nigeria and Emir of Kano by name Sanusi Lamido Sanusi on Tuesday has rubbish the role of the Power minister "Minister Fashola" over the poor delivery of power and electricity to houses and firms across the country, saying that the minister has lost control of the sector, he said this while addressing the stack holders workshop on Road transport management and Mass transit operation in Nigeria organised by federal ministry of transportation in Nigeria.
He said, “Very often in this country, we do not give as much focus as we should to the organic link between the objectives, our strategies, processes, procedures and our results. And one example I’ve always given is the power sector in Nigeria. I used to ask this question that, ‘please what really is the Power minister responsible for?’ And it sounds like a silly question.

“But the truth is, I don’t know about now, but as of the time I was in government, could anyone legitimately hold the Power minister responsible for delivering power? The PHCN (Power Holding Company of Nigeria) was privatised by the Bureau of Public Enterprises; the Ministry of Petroleum Resources is responsible for gas; regulation and pricing is done by the NERC (Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission), which is an independent body.””....... Sad one for the Ex- Governor, he seems not to fit in to that position, and this has rubbished his presidential ambition.
