But a bigger problem lies with the managers of the power sector, especially in the power ministry. For instance, one year after the Canadian firm Manitoba Hydro International signed the management contract to take over and manage the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), the Canadian company has still not been allowed to carry out its mandate and gets no support from the supervisory board of TCN which is more obsessed with awarding inflated contracts for the transmission network than ensuring that it functions at optimal capacity. What is worse is that the TCN board, which is chaired by Hamman Tukur, former Chairman of the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Commission (RMFAC), from the outset wrote a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan stating that he had no business reporting to Nebo. His preference was to report to Vice-President Namadi Sambo. The vice-president, for the record, has never been a fan of Manitoba and refused to lift a finger in his capacity as the Chairman of the National Council on Privatisation (NCP), when the Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) and Ministry of Justice and Office of the Attorney General rode rough shod over the management contract and tried to get it terminated last year. - Ijeoma Nwogwugwu
