Nigeria’s Power Sector Cashflow Hits N900bn

The liquidity in Nigeria’s power sector increased from N282bn in 2015 to N900bn currently.

The Federal Government announced this on Thursday, revealing that its financial burden in the industry had been reduced by about N373bn.

It disclosed this through the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission at the Ministerial Retreat on the Integrated National Electricity Policy and Strategic Implementation Policy.

Liquidity refers to the efficiency or ease with which an asset or security can be converted into ready cash without affecting its market price. The most liquid asset of all is cash itself.

In a presentation at the event, Sanusi Garba, the chairman, NERC, said, “Liquidity in the market has moved from N282bn in 2015 to N900bn now. We have also created a mechanism for enforcing payment discipline in the industry. This has seen Disco revenue improve greatly.

“We have reduced the fiscal burden on the government from N528bn to N155bn in 2022. Without our actions, the subsidy would have been in the region of N665bn.”

Speaking on the sidelines of the summit, Adebayo Adelabu, minister of Power, appealed to operators and agencies in the sector to work with the government, stressing that those who fail to deliver would be shown the way out.

“I appealed to the people working with me, the agencies and public servants, that they should support us to ensure that we deliver and not disappoint Mr President. And I say we are using the carrot and stick approach. We are using the carrot now by appealing to ourselves.

“If this does not work, we are going to wield the big stick. Before I’m shown the way out, of course, a lot of people will also leave before me. So this (summit) is just a way of preparing ourselves to achieve the mandate and target of the power ministry,” he stated. (Punch)
