Former vice president Namadi
Sambo was summoned to brief President Muhammadu Buhari on some issues related
to power and transport sectors.
A source told Daily Nigerian on
Tuesday night that Sambo was at the Presidential Villa at the instance of the
president, against speculations that he sought audience to see the president.
“Sambo was the chairman of the
National Council on Privatisation, alternate chairman of Presidential Action
Committee on Power”, the source said.
“He also coordinated a number of committees
related to power sector reform and transportation. You may recall that Namadi
Sambo had briefed Osinbajo on similar issues last year.
“President Buhari is keen on
attaining the 10,000mw target in the next three years, and he wanted to take
some key decisions in the power and transport sector.
“The president also takes the
issue of rail transport serious. Since he is not derailing from the previous
administration’s roadmap, he sought to hear from Namadi Sambo before taking the
decisions,” he added.
The meeting, which was held
inside the President’s office, lasted about 25 minutes.
Sambo was former President
Goodluck Jonathan’s deputy.
He arrived the Presidential Villa
at about 12:00noon and left the premises at about 12.30pm.
“It was a private meeting,” Sambo
told State House correspondents as he approached his waiting car.
