Federal Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, has said that the All Progressives Congress, APC’s administration has done better in power generation than the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, did in 16 years.
Fashola said in a new press release, “If you do not define your goal against your reality, progress will be difficult to recognize. As to where we were in 2015, power generation was averaging 4,000 MW; transmission was averaging 5,000 MW and distribution was averaging 3,000 MW. As to what we promised, I stated in my very first public briefing in November 2015 that contrary to previous practice, we were committing to a journey; first of getting incremental power, with the plan to proceed to steady power, and ultimately get uninterrupted power.
“I made it clear that our intention was to improve your power supply experience gradually rather than discuss the megawatts as quantum of power, and that any reference to the megawatts would be measuring milestones of our progress in the journey of incremental power.”
