The Chairman, Harvest Feeds Agro-Processing, Goke Adeyemi, has called on the government to decentralize power generation and distribution such that individuals and state governments could tap into it and distribute to companies and industries that needs power seriously. Adeyemi who spoke with Tribune Online on Thursday, said efforts of the government in power generation and distribution are not being felt at the rural areas where industries are located. He, therefore called for the total decoupling of the power generation administration in Nigeria and allow individuals and state governments to get involved, while the Federal Government regulates it. “So, what I think the government can do is to totally decouple the power generation administration in Nigeria whereby we will have satellite power generation and distribution companies or units, it could be owned by the government or individuals but government can regulate it. “My thinking is that they need to do a further decentralization of power in Abuja such that states and willing individuals can be a generation and distribution to where power is needed.
