A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Oke, has revealed the major challenges of the country’s power sector.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST on Wednesday, Prof Oke said the challenges in Nigeria’s power sector are human-induced.
According to him, Nigeria should gradually move away from federal grid structure, adding that the law guiding the power sector exists.
He, however, stressed the need to breathe life, purpose, and meaning into the law, reiterating that Nigeria has issues regarding leadership.
“Our challenges are humans. As managers, as technical people, as drivers of these bonuses, as funding whatever we do in the sector, the challenge, or the power sector, is human unless and until we all decide to do the right thing, all of us, we’re still going to be struggling with this kind of challenge.
“The law is there, but we need to breathe life, meaning and purpose, into that law, to effectuate the law in the right manner, to help us.
“If you want a good result, you power your company with good people who can achieve result. If they are not achieving a result, you dispense with them.
