Abubakar Aliyu, minister of power, has disclosed that the federal government would partner with investors in the power sector to improve the power supply in the country.

Aliyu made this known this while receiving Hidayet Bayratar, the ambassador of Turkey to Nigeria, and two other delegates in Abuja.

He said President Muhammadu Buhari’s aspiration is to ensure that the power industry is owned by the government and the private sector. 

According to him, the ties between Nigeria and Turkey is a long-standing one which led to the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Turkey and Nigeria in October 2021.

Aliyu described the distribution aspect of the power sector in the country as an area worth investing in.
