President Muhammadu Buhari admitted on Wednesday that the performance of his administration in the power sector was “not good enough”, saying that this called for more efforts by Electricity Distribution Companies to provide the needed resources and technical expertise.
He stated that the Federal Government would play its own part by improving the transmission of electricity.
Buhari spoke in Abuja when the Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’ Edo Ewuare II, led members of the Edo State Council of Traditional Rulers and chiefs on a visit to the President at the Presidential Villa.
The Oba, who sought the President’s intervention on the power supply situation in Edo State, had described it as a “pathetic situation.”
But Buhari appealed to Nigerians for calm, while urging them to be patient with the Discos to deliver on their mandate.
“We are building infrastructure. We are doing our best, but, obviously, our best is not good enough yet”, the Presidency quoted Buhari as saying.
