The nation will“get another power minister with such competent level.” Says Jonathan

President Goodluck Jonathan has said that the former minister of Power, Barth Nnaji’s resignation wasn’t due to any offence he committed.
President Jonathan said this at the Anambra Townhall meeting held on Thursday in Anambra State.
The President noted that he was using the opportunity of being in the midst of South-Eastern leaders to state that, “Barth Nnaji didn’t commit any offence, he is credible and a product of the World Bank.”
He added that the former minister’s resignation was accepted in order to protect the privatization process of the power sector.
President Jonathan assured that the nation will “get another power minister with such competent level.”
Prof. Barth Nnaji had voluntarily resigned as minister of Power on Tuesday “to protect his integrity” after he willingly disclosed his relationship with the two companies who are bidding for Afam Power Station and Enugu Distribution Company.
