Abubakar Aliyu, Minister of Power
The Federal Government (FG) has disclosed plans to resume talks with its Chadian counterpart on power interconnection.
This was even as it reiterated its commitment to regional integration.
The Minister of Power, Engr Abubakar Aliyu, who made the disclosure while receiving the Chadian Ambassador, H.E Abakar Saleh Chahaimi, in Abuja said Nigeria is willing to resuscitate engagements between both countries.
He stressed that Directors within the Ministry, who had institutional memory of earlier engagements will kick-start the interaction.
According to him, Nigeria is geographically closer to Chad, shares culture and even inter-marry than some other African countries and as such should partner for mutual benefits of both Nations.
He further stressed the need for collaboration between countries particularly Africans stating that no Nation can survive alone.
Earlier, the Chadian Ambassador to Nigeria, chronicled the previous engagements and interaction on power interconnection between the Chadian Government and Nigeria which sadly did not culminate into the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding.
He requested that the proposed partnership on interconnection be reopened stating that both countries stand the chance to benefit from the partnership.
