Image
Having keenly observed and monitored developments in the power sector within the last 24 hours, Atiku said his Policy Document titled “My Covenant with Nigerians” remains the most proactive plan to lead Nigeria out of darkness. In this regard, my approach is to first remove the entire electricity value chain from the exclusive list and give states the power to generate, transmit and distribute electricity for themselves.

My good friend Kenneth Bardi was not a regular caller, but we had a great relationship from our time as colleagues on  The Other News  at Channels Television. Life had taken us on different paths since we last saw each other in 2019, and I was curious to know - what was he up to these days? How was the wife? Any big news? Travel plans? Another baby?

He didn’t seem to hear any of my excited questions. “Hello David, I need to talk to you,”  he said in the unmistakable heavy voice of a man with something on his mind.  “Do you have a few minutes?” “Uh…OK sure. I’m listening.” “H...
