Minister of State, Power Goddy Jedy-Agba has pleaded with the United Nations, UN to make more financial support available to intervene in the power sector.
Jedy-Agba made the call when he paid the UN Deputy Secretary General, Amina Mohammed, a courtesy visit in New York, United States.
The Minister had traveled with a delegation comprising the Managing Director of Rural Electrification Agency, REA Ahmad Salihijo Ahmad, as part of Nigeria’s delegation to the ongoing 76th sessions of the United Nations General Assembly.
Jedy-Agba, while applauding Mohammed for the role she has played in several UN interventions in the country, however, appealed to UN for continued support to Nigeria.
The minister also noted that one of the major challenges facing the country’s power sector was funding, thus leading with the organisation to vote more funds for Nigeria to develop the sector.
