Vice President KASHIM SHETTIMA has urged investors to avail themselves of the new opportunities created by the power deficit and the federal government’s bid to drive additional investments in Nigeria’s energy sector.

He also pledged the commitment of the administration to addressing the country’s energy deficiency just as it remains focused on enhancing the ease of doing business.

Vice President SHETTIMA said this during the financial bid opening for the privatisation of the five National Integrated Power Project Plants in Abuja.

The Vice President maintained that the government remains resolute in addressing the energy deficiency and is focused on enhancing the ease of doing business.

He, however, urged prospective investors in the plants to bear the weight of trust in utilizing these resources for the greater good of the nation.

The Vice President further assured that the National Council on Privatisation and the Bureau of Public Enterprises are prepared to ensure a meticulous and transparent privatisation scheme within the power sector.
