Performance has nothing to do with party politics games playing.
Prof Ayade has distinguished himself in many ways even with relationship with PMB while many APC govs are mere noisemakers and onlookers over 1 year after.
The Cross River State governor took delivery of the electric power plant equipments in Calabar.
The master plan of cross river is about power generation NOT power distribution.
Personally, I think the DisCo will still be very much involve in the distribution of electricity to residential and industrial utilities.
However, discos need the power generated before they can function as utility providers in Cross River State.
If this Cross River State electricity become successful, the existing GenCos will keep generating electricity to national grid to get paid through the existing NBET arrangement.
Achieving true industrialization in Nigeria without steady power supply is unrealistic!
I don’t agree that Nigeria is deficient of brilliant people with worldclass networks and exposures with creative ideas and problem solving skills, the main bane is that only few of such people are allowed to get positions of leadership both at the state and federal levels in Nigeria.
Majority of occupiers of elected public offices in Nigeria today cannot go all the way to deliver innovations that could outlive their tenure in offices.
Kudos to Prof Ben Ayade and best wishes.
