Buhari has also directed the National Agency for Science and Engineering Infrastructure, NASENI, to establish a world-class transformer production plant in Nigeria in collaboration with China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) in order to fast-track stable power supply in the country.
The Executive Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of NASENI, Professor Mohammad Haruna, disclosed this to State House correspondents after meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
