The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has denied claims that he once said a serious government would fix power problems within six months.
Speaking at the Nextier Power Dialogue on Wednesday night in Abuja, while responding to questions, Fashola challenged participants at the dialogue and members of the public to produce any video evidence where he made such comment.
“I have the video of what I said and where I said it and I think it was in 2014 in the run-off to the election and I was in Lekki, Lagos,” the minister said.
He explained that the comment was made during the inauguration of the Lekki Independent Power Project when he was governor of Lagos State, adding that his statement had to do with the connection of residents of Lekki to the IPP within six months if the state government had received the approval to do so.
