President Muhammadu Buhari, has said that Nigeriahad liberalised its energy policy on power generation and distribution to allowinvestors generate power and sell to willing buyers, as opposed to the old,centralised practice where energy generators were obliged to produce and poolenergy in the national grid for distribution nationwide.
