According to the statement, the bank’s Country Energy Task Team Leader for Nigeria, Mr Eric Fernstrom, disclosed this at a Capacity Building Programme on Post Privatisation Monitoring for Power Sector.

It said the programme was jointly organised by the bank and the enterprise to ensure that the reform objectives were realised.

This, it stated, was due to the transparency exhibited in the transaction process and the robust post reform measures put in place by the National Council on Privatisation (NCP).

It reported Fernstrom as saying that the 1.75 billion dollars was 25 percent of a total 7 billion dollars earmarked for Nigeria in the next four years.

It was also meant to enable participants to analyse performance targets, using relevant tools as well as expose them to strategies for effective engagement and collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

It attracted participants from critical sector stakeholders, including the Nigeria Electricity Regulatory Commission, Presidential Task force on Power, Transmission Company of Nigeria, ” it stated.

The statement also reported the Director-General of BPE, Mr Benjamin Dikki, as saying that the workshop had greatly increased the capacity of the participants to effectively monitor power companies.
