Minister of Power Works and Housing has addressed the press in Abuja where he developmentn explained the plan for the revitalization of infrastructural

He said the focus on roads is to complete those already at some level of completion.

Fashola said 200 road contracts were stopped and revitalizing them would bring 20,000 jobs.

On power he said, all government agencies must pay their power bills for sustainability.

To improve power, Ministry of Petroleum says it is constructing new pipes to transport gas to power generation coys.

This construction could be concluded in 15 months and would potentially add 2,000 megawatts to the current power situation.

Still on power: “We have more power generation than is been transmitted. The Transmission Company of Nigeria says it has 142 transmission projects on-going; 45 of them at  50% completion, 22 of them can be completed within a year. This will  improve power.

We need to reconfigure our roots for us to be able to install solar panels.”

On government plans to construct 40 blocks of 12 flats per block, in each state of the federation, “this will give 480 flats per states. States will however, have to provide 5 to 10 hectares of land for the project.”

Government priority is on refinancing the outstanding 200 road contracts before we bring in new contracts.”

On climate he said:“Nigeria made pledges at the climate change conference COP 21 and we pledge to fulfil these agreements. However, it will be in accordance with national priorities.”

Government is standing down slowly but surely to allow the economics of supply and demand to take place.”

Fashola added that government would support local manufacturing of meters as an opportunity for entrepreneurship.
