The Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita, on Monday blamed the electricity distribution companies for persistent power failures across Nigeria.

Oyo-Ita said this during the unveiling of a new 60MVA and 132/33kV power transformer at the Calabar Transmission sub-station in Essien, Calabar, Cross River State.

The transformer was installed by the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).

She stated that for the trend to change and for Nigerians to appreciate the huge investments in the generation and the transmission components of the power sector, the Discos must embark on massive investments in the rehabilitation and expansion of their facilities.

Oyo-Ita said, “The distribution companies should now invest more in the distribution network, because that is where the problem lies. There is a lot of power that is being generated by the generating plants and transmitted by transmission plants, but the Discos do not have the capacity to transfer this power to the end users.

“Some of the distribution companies are not investing such that they can transfer this power to the end users. Nigerians will never appreciate the large amount of money being invested in power generation. So, we are appealing to the distribution companies to go back to the drawing board.”

She, however, stated that the federal government was willing to offer support to the distribution companies for them to render adequate services to Nigerians.
