The Vice President said this in Abuja on Thursday. The Federal Government on Thursday in Abuja said it was confident that the nation’s power plants would be generating 20,000 megawatts (MW) of electricity by 2016. Vice-President Namadi Sambo gave this reassurance when members of the Alumni Association of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS), Kuru, near Jos visited him at the State House. Mr. Sambo, who highlighted the progress made by the federal government in the power sector, said the country would by 2016 be able to generate adequate electricity. He said such power generation would assist in the speedy industrialisation of the country. “When work is completed on all the power plants, electricity supply will be adequate to drive industrialisation in the country. “These plants include those at the Mambilla, Gurara and the 250 MW plant in Kaduna, as well as the 10 thermal power plants about to be commissioned by President Goodluck Jonathan,’’ the vice-president said. Mr. Sambo called on members of the alumni association to support President Goodluck Jonathan in actualising the Transformation Agenda of his administration. “The Transformation Agenda is highly commendable, in terms of the results being recorded in key sectors of the economy. “It is the vision of President Jonathan to transform the agricultural sector and turn it into a business venture. It is also the vision of the President to make sure every Nigerian child goes to school. That is why Almajiri schools are being built. “Apart from infrastructure, school uniforms and books are being given to pupils,’’ he said further. Earlier, members of the association, led by their President, retired Major General Lawrence Onoja, had commended the federal government for ensuring peace and development in the country.
