PASSAGE B

Nigeria has a troubled power sector which is however undergoing reforms thathopefully should usher in era of private sector dominance in terms of ownershipand management of generation and distribution In this transitory phase it is crucialto lay a foundation for local sourcing of vital inputs and make it the norm for theindustry That is the only way to prevent a replication of the trend in the oil and gassub-sector where capital flight is as much as $ 16 billion per annum as revealed bythe Petroleum Technology Development FundThe PHCN could legitimately insist on quality and standards in its procurement ofequipment and materials but what is playing out is an institutional orientationevinced in several pursuits of the PHCN that are contemptuous of Nigeriarsquosaspiration for local content development In 1998 the defunct National ElectricPower Authority defied a directive by the then Minister of Power and steel AlhajiBashir Dalhatu to source its costable components from Nigerian foundries some ofwhich are of high standards Actuated by a realization of idle capacity in thefoundries and the need to conserve foreign exchange the Minister appliedappropriate pressure on the management of NEPA but found his efforts frustratedThe acute shortage or inefficiency in the metering programme originated from thefact that the only local manufacturer then the Federal Government-ownedelectricity Meter Company in Zaria Kaduna State established in 1976 but sold toDantata Investments Limited in December 2002 is not performing(Adapted from The Punch Wednesday May 25 2011 Pg 18)

PASSAGE B

Nigeria has a troubled power sector which is however undergoing reforms thathopefully should usher in era of private sector dominance in terms of ownershipand management of generation and distribution In this transitory phase it is crucialto lay a foundation for local sourcing of vital inputs and make it the norm for theindustry That is the only way to prevent a replication of the trend in the oil and gassub-sector where capital flight is as much as $ 16 billion per annum as revealed bythe Petroleum Technology Development FundThe PHCN could legitimately insist on quality and standards in its procurement ofequipment and materials but what is playing out is an institutional orientationevinced in several pursuits of the PHCN that are contemptuous of Nigeriarsquosaspiration for local content development In 1998 the defunct National ElectricPower Authority defied a directive by the then Minister of Power and steel AlhajiBashir Dalhatu to source its costable components from Nigerian foundries some ofwhich are of high standards Actuated by a realization of idle capacity in thefoundries and the need to conserve foreign exchange the Minister appliedappropriate pressure on the management of NEPA but found his efforts frustratedThe acute shortage or inefficiency in the metering programme originated from thefact that the only local manufacturer then the Federal Government-ownedelectricity Meter Company in Zaria Kaduna State established in 1976 but sold toDantata Investments Limited in December 2002 is not performing(Adapted from The Punch Wednesday May 25 2011 Pg 18)
