The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo has reiterated his earlier promise that "very soon, generator dealers would be out of business". Prof. Nebo who made this declaration last year noted that this was not a threat to the generator dealers but his prediction will come to pass "naturally".
The Minister has also rejected recent claims that generator importers were partly responsible for unstable power supply in the country. He however admitted to the fact that the country had experienced poor electricity supply of recent. Prof. Nebo remained optimistic that the government’s target of getting sustainable power by midyear would be met.
“But it is also likely that as power gets more abundant and reaches more people, there will be a problem for the generator dealers because they will be out of business. Let me assure Nigerians, because I’ve met with the generator companies and importers to look for a better business, they will be out of business.”
“If everything Mr. President, the Power ministry and the power sector are working on comes to be, Nigerians will not need generators any more" the power minister said.
