After his successful screening, Nigeria Senate on Wednesday announced the confirmation of Mr Joseph Tegbe as Minister of power.
According to the the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) it was reported that Tegbe’s confirmation followed an extensive deliberation by the Senate Committee of the Whole.
The senators noted that Nigeria’s installed generation exceeded 13,000MW yet actual supply rarely surpasses 4,500MW because transmission and distribution systems remained weak.
Tegbe promised Nigerians and the Senate that his tenure would deliver visible progress capable of transforming the power sector.
