By Soni Daniel ABUJA — The Federal Government has begun clearing hundreds of containers of electricity equipment stranded at Nigerian ports for more than a decade, in a move aimed at recovering abandoned public assets and supporting critical power infrastructure projects.
The Minister of Power, Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, disclosed this after the recent Federal Executive Council meeting in Abuja.
He said the intervention followed President Bola Tinubu’s directive to the ministry to work with the Nigeria Customs Service and the Nigerian Ports Authority to resolve the administrative and financial bottlenecks responsible for the prolonged delay. The bottlenecks, he explained, included the reconciliation of outstanding port charges. “The release of the first 44 containers represents significant progress in our determination to recover critical power assets and accelerate infrastructure development,” the minister said. Tegbe said technical experts would assess the recovered equipment to establish their condition and suitability for deployment.
