Abdulaziz Yari, senator representing Zamfara west, asked el-Rufai how he intends to confront the crisis in the energy sector if he is named minister of power.

The former Kaduna governor said Tinubu is determined to address the nation’s electricity problems head-on by putting permanent solutions in place

He noted that the power supply in Nigeria has defied every government for 60 years.

“It has defied every president,” he said.

“The president’s vision is that within seven years we will not have power outages in this country.”

El-Rufai said without constant electricity, serious industrialisation cannot take place in the country.
