Minister of Power, Dr. Lanre Babalola, on Tuesday failed to offer details of the work plan of the Federal Government to achieve 6,000 megawatts of electricity by the end of the year, in spite of earlier boast and assurances on the targeted figure before the National Assembly members.

The drama occurred as the House of Representatives Committee on Power headed by Honourable Ndudi Godwin Elumelu tasked the minister to stop dwelling on grammar and come up with concrete work plan on the amount of megawatts that the ministry wanted to add to the current figure on weekly and monthly bases from now and how the target was to be met.

Elumelu had told the minister that the committee was not impressed with the assurances he (the minister) had been giving on the targeted figure of 6,000 megawatts, saying: “If I allow you to go now, my members will accuse me that I only allowed you to come here to speak grammar.”

Babalola, who looked worried after the request and had to consult with officials that came with him, told the committee that he would have to come back with appropriate figure since he had no work plan with him.

“We did not come here with the appropriate figure. I have no doubt that we can easily come back,” he pleaded.

This clearly confirms the sorry state of Nigeria's affairs. Is it possible for a Minister to be summoned for a hearing at the senate without going to the house  with the master work plan or may be non exists.  Has anybody seen the master plan for VISION 2020 or is it more of a gimmick

the law makers said a vote of no confidence will be passed on the minister if he fails to achieve 6,ooomw of electricity at the end of the year. hmmmmmm!
