ABUJA — Newly sworn-in Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has disclosed that international development organisations and funding agencies are prepared to provide liquidity support to Nigeria’s power sector, reflecting growing confidence in the Federal Government’s ongoing electricity reforms.
Speaking shortly after his swearing-in ceremony in Abuja on Monday, Tegbe said the positive signal followed extensive engagements with development partners and key stakeholders across the electricity value chain since his confirmation by the Senate.
According to him, discussions with international development organisations and funding agencies have been productive, with many expressing willingness to support efforts aimed at addressing the sector’s liquidity challenges.
