A former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, Abubakar Sambo, has said that the constant failure of national power grid can be solved through decentralization.
He made this statement during the 12th convocation lecture of the Kwara State University (KWASU), Malete.
As a Professor Emeritus of Faculty of Engineering and Environmental Designs, Abubakar Sambo, stated that the collapse of national power grid should not be allowed.
He added that the national power grid should be decentralised and it should not leave Nigerians in darkness.
Sambo said, “All state grids can operate independently such that faults in one state will not affect other states. State grids should be interconnected with the grids of contiguous states.
“The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) TCN says it is only 70% completed, which enables real-time monitoring and control of the grid, allowing operators to detect faults, manage loads effectively and respond to issues swiftly, should be completed as quickly as possible.”
