The Senate is to begin investigating the management of funds appropriated to the Power Sector since 1999 and the unbundling of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria.
Federal lawmakers in the Upper Chamber also called on President Muhammadu Buhari to direct the Transmission Company of Nigeria to reconnect Maiduguri back to the National Grid.
The Senate reached these resolutions after the Senate Majority Leader, Ali Ndume, in a motion drew the attention of the Senate to the disconnection of Maiduguri from the National Grid and the General Power Degeneration across the country.
Senator Ndume said Nigerians had thought that the unbundling of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria would translate to improved electricity supply in the country but that had not been the case.
