The Minister of Power, Works and
Housing, Babatunde Fashola, yesterday spoke about his relationship with former
Governor of Lagos State, Senator Bola Tinubu and Governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
According to him, they were cool
and in good terms.
“Tinubu, Ambode and I are cool,”
Fashola told panelists on the ‘Morning Show’ programme of Arise TV on Monday.
There have been speculations that
Tinubu and Ambode have not been in good terms with Fashola, since he left
office in 2015 to take up his present position.
But he dismissed the speculations
even as he clarified some of his policy options in the power sector.
For instance, he made stated that
the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), should ensure that the
distribution companies (Discos) comprehensively provide meters to consumers in
their networks, before the regulatory agency implements a review of tariffs.
Fashola also said the federal
government was no longer keen on providing sovereign guarantees for investors
interested in building new power plants in the country.
