The National Economic Council, NEC, has reinforced the implementation of the national electrification strategy in a bid to end the collapse of the nation’s power grid.
Chairman of NEC, Vice President Kashim Shettima, told the council that access to energy is a fundamental right and not a privilege because electricity remains the oxygen of economic growth.
Shettima says experts and stakeholders from some of the critical sectors were invited to share their insights and contributions.
The Ondo State governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, also told newsmen that the committee, headed by Cross River State governor, Bassey Otu, is to work towards deepening states’ engagements within the Electricity Reform Act 2023 and the National Electrification Strategy and Implementation Plan.
