The Minister of State, Power, Goddy Jedy Agba has said that in response to the policy of employment generation, his ministry has provided an improved urban and rural electricity supply across the country for artisans like welders, mechanics, factories, industries, small and medium scale enterprises and our institutions of higher learning.
According to a statement by the Special Assistant to the Minister on Media and Communications Strategy, Mr. Ofem Uket, the minister noted that less than two years in office as Minister of State, Power, the Nation has recorded successes in the power sector through major interventions.
He said some of the benefiting states so far, include Lagos, Oyo, Osun. Edo, Ebonyi, Benue, Kano, Kaduna, Bauchi, Niger, and satellite towns within the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Jedy Agba further disclosed that greater attention is focused on the rural areas where the advantage is taken of the emerging alternative energy sources in Nigeria; particularly the solar mini-grid systems.
The Minister declared that in Cross River State, there was no electricity in Bekwara Local Government for six years, and today the area is enjoying a steady supply of electricity.
“I will ensure a steady power supply in Calabar. In the further northern Cross River State, areas far away from the National Grid are being provided with the solar mini Grid electricity. Currently, a solar mini Grid project is ongoing at the Bottom Hill of the Obudu Ranching Resorts with the intention of providing electricity to the people of Bottom Hill, Agbakoko, Belinge, and Amana.
“These are places linking up the great tourists’ attractions in the Obudu Ranching Resorts”
The Minister added that arrangements have been concluded with the Japanese Consortium, JAICA, for the electrification of the Utanga and the Ranch.
“The Japanese have already dropped the relevant work materials but they have been unable to come because of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.
As a result of the improved electricity, the Minister ensured that the borehole projects in Ukeme, Yache, and Gabu were completed.
Similarly, the borehole in Utugwang and water supply in Ukwel, Obudu, all in Cross River state are some of the numerous projects occasioned by the improved electricity, meant to enhance the better living condition of the people, he added.
“Our focus is to create an environment that will be economically viable and sustainable for our people. We should stop the politics of bitterness and rather come up with creative thoughts to assist leadership.
“We must always bear in mind that Ministerial appointments are given National responsibilities, thus it is quite erroneous to expect a Minister to completely focus on his/ her State of origin.
The Minister also pledges to adhere to issues of National interest as demanded by his ministerial responsibilities and will not be hesitant to continue in that manner until his last day in office; having sworn to the oath to give in all his best for the people of this country.
The statement further disclosed that the strategy document appointing the Minister of State, Power, Goddy Jedy-Agba, into office signed by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), apportioned specific roles, responsibilities, and duties to his office, directing him to supervise under his office, the Rural Electrification Agency (REA), the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA) and the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN), including Manpower and Capacity building of the Ministry of Power.
Again, every Minister so appointed represents a State and responsibilities assigned to each of them; thus, the nomenclature of junior or senior Minister is a misnomer which confuses the Ministerial portfolios in the strategy document of the Presidency, which confers on any Federal Minister the power and privileges to perform within the areas of jurisdiction, without recourse to any form of subordination outside of the Presidency.
The statement argued that Goddy Jedy-Agba is committed to ensuring that the supply of electricity in rural communities and urban centers is regularized to boost economic growth and production capacity of manufacturing industries, small and medium scale enterprises, to determine a corresponding growth in the Gross Domestic Product GDP.
However, the Power Sector Reforms of the Federal Government as encapsulated and currently implemented is aggressively addressing the challenges of instability in the supply of electricity, with an assurance that quarter 2 of 2021 will have in history the highest power development change in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity.
