Senator Dino Melaye has urged President Muhammadu Buhari to step and and take over the reins of affairs in the country’s power sector.
Speaking via a series of tweets, Melaye lampooned the Federal Government for increasing electricity tariffs without commensurate increase in power supply.
Speaking further, he said the country’s chances of becoming an industrialized nation would be increased if the power situation was fixed.
