Nigerians hoping for improved electricity supply may continue to wait —PENGASSAN

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) said on Thursday that Nigerians hoping for improved electricity supply may have to wait a little longer because the power sector’s gloomy status was unlikely to change soon.

PENGASSAN identified a number of factors that would prevent Nigeria’s power supply situation from improving anytime soon, emphasising that this remained true despite the economic importance of energy to the nation.

Festus Osifo, the president of the association, stated this during the 7th Triennial National Delegates Conference of PENGASSAN in Abuja and cautioned the federal government against using the Petroleum Industry Act 2021 in a discriminatory manner.
