THE Federal Government says it will learn power generation and transmission from Egypt which it described as a role model in the sector.
The government has also reaffirmed its commitment to rural development through improved electricity access,
The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, disclosed this during a recent meeting in Abuja with the Egyptian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mohammed Fouad.
A statement by Adelabu’s spokesperson, Bolaji Tunji, said on Sunday that the meeting centred on strengthening bilateral cooperation in energy expansion, with a focus on renewable energy and rural electrification.
Adelabu commended Egypt’s achievements in the energy sector, describing the country as a role model in energy infrastructure development.
He expressed Nigeria’s interest in learning from Egypt’s experience in energy generation, transmission and distribution, adding that the success in Egypt led to the engagements with Siemens with a view towards stabilising Nigeria’s power sector.
