Senate Yet To Receive Official Briefing On N-Power Suspension – Kaka

The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Special Duties, Kaka Shehu on Wednesday said the Senate led by Godswill Akpabio is yet to receive any briefing from the Federal Government on the suspension of the N-Power Programme.

Kaka revealed this while speaking at the inaugural meeting of the committee on Wednesday in Abuja.

Naija News recall that the Federal Government on the 8th of October, 2023 suspended the N-Power Programme of the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation to ensure a proper audit of the programme.

Kaka speaking at the meeting said, “For now, I’m yet to receive the official briefing on the suspension and the substitution of a new programme.

“I don’t want to comment on that but as a lawmaker saddled with the responsibility of this committee, I will study the enabling law that brought N-power as well as the bill that is before us that scaled second reading.

“If there is no overlap and it is out, and the suspension was in the best interest of Nigerians, I will allow it go. But where the suspension is not in the best interest of Nigerians, you will see me shouting on the floor that we should bring it back.

“I will not comment on whether we are going to investigate or not until after receiving briefs from the relevant MDAs.”
