The suggestion that the Ministry of Power be a separate Ministry to ensure it performs optimally to deliver uninterrupted power to Nigerians has come up for mention at the floor of the Nigerian Senate.
 
This debate on the crucial national issue was sequel to a motion by Senator Mustapha Bukar representing Katsina North Senatorial District during Tuesday's Plenary.
 
In his contribution to the motion, the Chairman Senate Committee on Power, Eyinnaya Abaribe‎ said the burden of being in charge of the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing as a single Ministerial portfolio is a recipe for underperformance and as such there needs to be a split.
