The Federal Executive Council (FEC) yesterday approved a framework to boost transmission of power to Nigerians.
Babatunde Fashola, Minister of Power, Works and Housing, briefed State House correspondents at the end of FEC meeting chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to him, the policy approved on Wednesday will facilitate investments into the sector and make it possible for power being generated to be added to the National Grid for the benefit of Nigerians.
While the country is generating 7,000 megawatts, he regretted that the Discos don’t have the capacity to take more than 5,000 megawatts.
