The Senate is set to probe the Power Sector Reforms under the administrations of former Presidents OLUSEGUN OBASANJO and GOODLUCK JONATHAN. The resolution was reached by the upper legislative chamber which set up a thirteen-member ad-hoc committee to carry out a comprehensive investigation into the management of funds spent for the power sector since 1999. The Committee, headed by Senator ABUBAKAR KYARI, was also given the task to probe the unbundling of the defunct Power Holding Company of Nigeria by the Federal Government. The decision followed a motion sponsored by the Senate Leader, ALI NDUME, seeking the immediate reconnection of some parts of Borno State back to the National grid.
Senator NDUME said this was in view of the challenges the blackout was having on his constituents.
