Professor Bart Nnaji, Nigeria’s minister of power has resigned.His resignation was made known in a terse message from the Presidency, which indicated that President Jonathan has accepted the resignation.
The resignation came at a time the power sector was showing some improvement in power delivery, with electricity production reaching levels of over 4000 megawatts it had not reached in a decade.
A statement by Dr Reuben Abati, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, said the disengagement of Nnaji was with immediate effect.
Abati said Jonathan thanked Nnaji for his services to the nation under the present administration and wished him well in his future endeavours.
Source however gathered that the Minister may have been caught in an ethical web over the ongoing privatisation in the power sector.
