Three years ago, Nigerians heaved a sigh of relief when the pre-paid meter was introduced. They thought that at last, the epileptic system of power supply and outrageous billing system since the take-over of PHCN by the private investors will be a thing of the past.

Unlike previous governments without genuine, determined efforts to solve the age-long electricity crisis which had plagued the country, the current administration of President Goodluck Jonathan seemed to have taken the bull by the horns with his transformation agenda including the roadmap on power that guaranteed massive access to electricity.

It was truly theoretical, when the Chief Executive Officer of Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi stated in a media chat that “since other forms of operations had failed, privatisation is the best policy Nigeria can ever embark on that will bring about positive result”.

Electricity consumers all over the country heaved a sigh of relief, following the decision of the federal government to handover the operation of Power Holding Company Of Nigeria to private operators nationwide.

POPE Francis I, has never made any secret of his immense admiration for Cardinal Sin. While the Holy Father was in Davos, he made it abundantly clear that he did not want anything for himself.
