South Africa to cooperate in power sector

    ABIDJAN

    Nigeria and South Africa are to work closely together to develop their power sectors, particularly in generation and distribution, ‘The Guardian’ quoted Power and Steel Minister, Bola Ige, as saying on Thursday.

    The paper quoted Ige as saying Nigeria wanted to learn how South Africa has improved the supply of electricity for its people, particularly in townships such as Soweto. ‘The Guardian’ also said South African power firms were keen to invest in Nigeria’s energy sector and take advantage of current deregulation and plans to privatise the state power company NEPA.

    Ige was expected to travel to South Africa for talks with his counterpart, ‘The Guardian,’ reported.
