House of Representatives Summons Finance Minister and Others Over Planned sale of Five Power Plants

The House of Representatives’ Committee on Finance has summoned the Ministers of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed and of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, among others over the planned sale of five power plants.

Chairman of the House Committee on Finance, James Faleke, described the planned sale of the power plants as unconstitutional and a disservice to the nation’s development as the assets jointly belong to the three tiers of the government.

The committee, however, asked the Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading Company to provide a breakdown of the monthly income of all the power plants.
