Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing has unveiled his blueprint for improving power supply in the country.

During a meeting with power generation, distribution and transmission companies, and other stakeholders on Monday, Fashola revealed a 13-point agenda to ensure effective monitoring of the sector in Nigeria.

Fashola said the agenda entails continuous public engagement on tariff collection, debts, power generation, maintenance, overload safety, ancillary services, 33KV load offtake, dispatch orders and discipline.

Additional areas include gas requirement and constraints, transmission constraints, imbalances-locations of excess,  service quality, new captive and embedded generation, franchising and other issues that will facilitate the growth of the sector.

He also revealed that President Buhari has given approval for all stakeholders in the sector to convene for monthly meetings on matters arising in the industry while stating that the decisions reached in these meetings would be binding on all stakeholders.

He said that the meeting would be rotated among the various GENCOs, DISCOs, TCN and other stakeholders across the country.

Fashola stated that the companies involved would each be represented by a management member vested with authority to make decisions for the stakeholders.

He explained that in order to cut the cost of hosting the meetings, the companies were advised to jointly pull up resources needed to hold the meetings.

The minister further revealed that the ministry would release a communiqué after each meeting on the decisions taken to solve problems in the sector which would also be attended by lawyers, engineers, planners and other stakeholders.
