Stable Electricity Not in Sight as Blame Game Continues in Nigeria’s Power Sector



The hope of Nigerians and businesses to have stable electricity has been dashed once again as the Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors (ANED) kicks against some parts of the Federal Government’s plan for rejuvenating the dwindling sector. In the approach to the review, information has it that the government is ready to take over some distribution facilities. This position does not augur well for the DISCOs.
Dismissing the position, the body stated that the government would only address the issues affecting retail electricity distribution not staking about $2.4 billion (about N736 billion) to repossess some of the investments that failed.
Infoprations has earlier analysed and reported that instead of using processes and competencies for value delivery players in the power sector engaged in a strategic blame game between January and June, 2019. From the Power Generating Companies to the Public Analysts, resource issues and value creation blame shots were traded during the period.
Within the resource issues, generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure were bought and sold by the actors. Government interference, consumers’ debts, distribution and logistics problems were equally traded. As the actors engaged in the game, attack the accuser, denial, scapegoat, excuse, justification, apology and Victimage were employed as response strategies.
