He said: “Let me seize the opportunity to appeal to all relevant stakeholders to work toward proper legislation for the participation of state and local government authorities, and private investors in the energy industry.
“This will provide a clear framework and set the boundaries for the involvement of each participant in the generation, transmission and distribution of power,” he said further.
The programme was jointly financed by the European Union and German Government under the Nigerian Energy Support Programme of the Federal
Government.
Also, the European Union representative in Nigeria, Kurt Cornelius, said that the project was in line with the priorities of the Union in Nigeria, saying alternative energy remains the only solution to energy problem in the country.
