Nigerian President Umaru Yar’Adua fired three executives from the Power Holdings Company of Nigeria (PHCN) according to Power Minister Lanre Babalola.
The PHCN governs the use of electricity in Nigeria. However they have not been producing enough to please the President.
The company produces about 3,000 megawatts of power for a population of 140 million citizens. In contrast its produces 38,000 megawatts for 45 million people in South Africa.
This appears to be a lack of communication, fired executives, Bello Suleiman, vice chairman of PHCN and directors Isiaka Abdul Rasak and Simon Atakulu, obviously, didn’t get the President’s memo, stating that he no longer wants the people of Nigeria to be in the dark.
