The Nigerian Society of Engineers, NSE has called on the Federal Government to fix the country’s electricity infrastructure.
The Society’s President, Adekunle Mokuolu who spoke during a memorial lecture in honour of a former National Vice Chairman of the society, John Egbe, also called for an upwards review of electricity tariff.
The President observed that an upwards review of the tariff would boost the power sector.
According to Mokuolu, current problems in the sector, including estimated billing, could be addressed by raising the tariff. He said the challenge with the power sector in Nigeria is not principally with the engineers but the problem is on how they manage the various components that make up the sector like finance, policy, management and infrastructure.
