When the present administration of President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, sometime in 2007 hinted Nigerians that he was going to declare “a state of emergency” on the power sector, many people were given a sense of hope, that at long last, something would be done to change the pathetic power sector to good. But as the months rolled by, Nigerians began losing that sense of hope, especially with the “slow-paced” system of government headed by President Yar’Adua. First, the President declared that he was wary to invest in the power sector, considering the fact that about $16 billion was spent on it by the last administration of Olusegun Obasanjo. And then later, a committee was mandated by the President to map out a plan that would provide at least 6,000 MegaWatts (MW) by 2009. And now, plans are on the way to implement the much awaited emergency measures in the power sector, expected to be declared in the month of July.
