The fact not made public at the outset of the probe has now surfaced that a good number of the projects awarded during the last administration are still on-going and have the potential of adding thousands of MWs to the grid on completion and commissioning. If the present administration and the committee probing the projects do not DELIBERATELY act to deceive the public, details of the on-going projects SHOULD be lisited stipulating when the last of them will be commissioned and HOW MANY FURTHER MWs they would contribute to the grid as per contracts. The chairman of the committee probing the power contracts is accusing the contractors for telling lies even though all the projects are based on contracts signed and binding on both the contractors and the government but Mr Elumelu has never for once mentioned anything about contracts and liabilities of both parties as if the power project is a bunch of VILLAGE PROJECTS for few hundred dollars not based on any written contract. It is disturbing to hear Mr Elumelun asking for devine intervention in the power sector indiectly showing that the projects awarded by the former administraton seem to be the ONLY AND MAIN BASIS FOR POWER SUPPLY the present administration is counting on. It is not less disturbing to realize that Mr. Elumelu is seemingly planning and targeting ONLY for 2020 with the possible propensity to tie down the development of the country for the 12 years interim period. WOW!
