The Association of Meter Manufacturers of Nigeria has thrown its weight behind Nigeria’s new Minister for Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, for graciously identifying the association as a key stakeholder in the power sector and invited them for a fact-finding meeting which culminated in a strategy meeting.
A statement issued by Engr Ademola Agoro and Engr Duro Omogbenigun, President and Secretary of the Association respectively, said they are happy to observe that.
Unlike typical politician Ministers, Chief Adelabu demonstrated knowledge of the sector and evidence of carefully incubated potential solutions to the issues facing local manufacturers of meters.
“The Honorable Minister encouraged AMMON to state the history of the industry sector despite his tight schedule whereupon he immediately offered some tangible solutions he was working on for our sector. In this exercise, he offered impressive resources that he could bring to bear given the possible influence of his current and past positions in government.
“The Honorable Minister also informed the Association that he is presently on a bilateral engagement with all stakeholders, in his bid to further understand the challenges of each player in the power sector,’’ the statement said.
It added that: “As a body, we are pleased that we have a minister who is not only a successful politician but one who is patriotic, ready to work hard, understand sectoral issues and deliver performance while using both his professional and business acumen to reposition the sector.”
The Association urged Nigerians to be mindful that the Honorable Minister has barely spent four weeks in office and met lots of challenges in the power sector.
“We, therefore, seek the support of all stakeholders to work with the new Minister for us to have an efficient power sector that addresses the demands of all Nigerians.”
