In another development, the Nigerian Governors Forum recently opposed the Federal Government’s proposal to privatise National Integrated Power Plants (NIPPs).
The plants are: Benin Generation Company Ltd, Calabar Generation Company Ltd, Geregu Generation Company Ltd, Olorunsogo Generation Company Ltd and Omotosho Generation Company Ltd.
Outgoing NGF Chairman and Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, who addressed reports in Abuja on Thursday after the forum’s meeting, said the proposal was opposed because all stakeholders were not carried along in the scheme of things.
The NGF also advised the Federal Government against sanctioning the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities.
It said the government should rather resolve the contentious issues in the interest of the students and Nigeria.
