The
Federal Government has alleged that most actions undertaken by labour
unions against the privatisation of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria
are being promoted by forces that are not interested in the ongoing
power sector reform process.
According to the government, individuals
who benefit from a non-privatised power sector are enormous and are
bent on making sure that the process does not work.
The Chairman, Presidential Task Force on
Power, Mr. Beks Dagogo-Jack, who spoke with journalists in Abuja on
Tuesday, said the government was not being defensive whenever it told
Nigerians that there were cabals in the sector who did not want the
reforms to work.
He said, “There are too many forces in
this sector. There are a lot of forces that are not interested in this
game. And sometimes, when we talk about it, people think we are being
defensive.
“But I wish that at some point, nature
will make it for you (journalists) to be on this side of the table to
know what I am talking about. There are some people who benefit from the
fact that there is no reform. That there is no privatisation, they
benefit from it.”
