The same way we get daily updates from NELFUND on the number of beneficiaries of the scheme is the same way we should be getting timely updates from the Presidential Metering Initiative that was initiated to ensure citizens are properly metered to end estimated billings in Nigeria.
Transparency at the bottom of the value chain is a major issue in our electricity sector and every other player gets to perform better when it is improved upon.
Data needs to be reeled out on at least, a weekly basis.
As of today, we donโt know how many meters have been distributed and the percentage of Nigerians who still need to be metered and most importantly, the timeline for the completion of the initiative which, for me, should not last more than 6 months.
I hope the new minister @JosephOTegbe makes this a priority.
I think that for politicians, the only gift worth giving Mr President for his birthday is to deliver your polling unit and ward.
With Kwankwaso now joining ADC and the likelihood of a Makinde move - we have to leave English for Prof Soyinka (apologies) and face the grassroots to mobilize heavy for our leader.
