As Nigerians continue to groan under epileptic power supply, security expert and global affairs analyst, Dr. Jackson Lekan Ojo, has applauded the House of Representatives for appointing Hon. Ibrahim Al-Mustapha Aliyu as chairman of the Ad-hoc Committee on Power Sector Reform and Expenditures.<\/p>\n
Reacting to the inauguration of the committee on Monday in Abuja, Ojo said the panel represents a fresh opportunity to address long-standing challenges in the nation\u2019s electricity sector.<\/p>\n
He expressed confidence that Hon. Aliyu, who is representing Wurno\/Rabah Federal Constituency of Sokoto State, would bring his wide experience to bear in managing the committee and tackling the problem of incessant blackouts and controversial expenditures.<\/p>\n
Ojo noted that many Nigerians have lost confidence in previous investigative panels set up by the House due to their failure to produce meaningful outcomes over the past 17 years. <\/p>\n
However, he said the current committee has inspired renewed hope, noting that it has been mandated to carry out a comprehensive forensic audit of Nigeria\u2019s power sector including investigation into policies, expenditures and interventions implemented between 2007 and 2024.<\/p>\n
Ojo described Hon. Aliyu as a disciplined, incorruptible and highly professional individual capable of delivering results that could transform the sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor many years, Nigerians have become sceptical of probe panels established by the House of Representatives because they have failed to deliver tangible results. That disappointment has contributed to the continued challenges in the power sector,. <\/p>\n
\u201cI believe the 10th National Assembly has made the right decision by appointing Hon. Arch. Ibrahim Al-Mustapha Aliyu to chair this committee. From my findings, he is disciplined, transparent and possesses the capacity to lead a credible investigation that can bring about lasting reforms in the power sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ojo said the committee\u2019s assignment goes beyond another routine investigation, stressing that it presents an opportunity to identify systemic failures, promote accountability and lay the foundation for improved power generation and distribution nationwide.<\/p>\n
The analyst urged Nigerians to support the committee\u2019s work and remain hopeful that its findings would pave the way for meaningful reforms in power generation, transmission and distribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
