The stage is set for the WorldStage National Electricity Power Conference 2013 in Lagos on September 24, where the Vice President, Architect Namadi Sambo, will deliver the Keynote and State of Electricity Power Address.
The Chairman/CEO of Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, Dr. Sam Amadi, is scheduled to present a paper, ‘Power Sector Liberalisation and Regulatory Challenges’, at the WNEPC 2013 (http://worldstagegroup.com/media/20189247885860.pdf).
Amadi is expected to give new investors in the power sector and the general public the assurance of the capacity to provide effective regulation of the industry by his commission.
Moreover, the conference, with the theme: ‘Moving Nigeria’s Electricity Power Sector Forward’, according to the organisers, would be the first opportunity for the new private investors in the power sector to present their rollout plans to the public.
Segun Adeleye, President/CEO, WorldStage, said what has just happened with the success of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria privatisation may turn out to be the most significant development in Nigeria in the last 53 years, as the economy would start feeling the private sector dynamism in power generation and distribution.
Adeleye said: “With the handing over of the power assets expected any moment from now and the potential to grow a new set of multibillion businesses that would rival, if not surpass what we currently have in the telecoms, the multiplier effects on the economy in terms of productivity, capacity utilisation, SMEs growth among others can only be imagined.”
