T<\/strong>he Managing Director\/CEO, Eko Electricity Distribution Company (EKEDC), Mr. Oladele Amoda, has assured that power supply will improve this year.<\/p>\n

He said\u00a0stakeholders in the electricity sector know the source of the power problems in the country.<\/p>\n

Amoda who made this disclosure on Monday, in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos, said the Federal Government is finding ways to solve the problem of gas supply to the power generating plants by engaging the militants in the Niger Delta in peaceful discussions.<\/p>\n

\u201cA couple of weeks ago, the Vice-President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, was in Warri on a peaceful mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernment wants to ensure that there is peace in the area, so that the militants will stop the vandalism of gas pipelines, in order to have enough gas to flow to the gas plants.<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso, the Federal Government has earmarked substantial amount (of money) in this year\u2019s appropriation bill to strengthen transmission infrastructure.<\/p>

\u201cThere are so many ongoing projects that have been suspended due to lack of funds.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow, most of these projects will be hopefully completed because the fund has been made available in this year\u2019s appropriation bill now before the National Assembly.<\/p>\n

\u201cApart from the Federal Government\u2019s appropriation, there are also international donor agencies assisting the sector in funding some of these projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all these funding, I believe this will boost the capacity of transmission to wheel the power generated,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Amoda said all the 11 DisCos were also individually undertaking various projects to strengthen the distribution network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
