According to a statement by the Information Officer in the Press and Public Relations Unit of the Ministry of Power, Mr. Mathew Osumanyi DanAsabe quoted the minister as saying President Muhammadu Buhari’s desire towards the power sector was to ensure that the electricity supply industry is owned by both government and the private sectors.
