Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has, as part of the policy thrusts of the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration, said the provision of electricity was a fundamental human right to all Nigerians.
He added that efforts would be intensified to achieve this. He spoke at the inauguration of the Power Sector Communications Team (PSCT). The PSCT is made up of media managers in the Ministry of Power and all its agencies.
The minister described the inauguration of the team as a significant milestone in the sector’s effort to inform the public about the policies and programmes of the Ministry and its agencies.
He described the PSCT as a platform for clear, consistent, and transparent communication, aimed at building trust and confidence in communication.
Adelabu said: “Today marks a significant milestone in our collective efforts to illuminate Nigeria. “We gather here to inaugurate the Power Sector Communications Team (PSCT), a strategic initiative designed to bridge the gap between the power sector and the public.
“Effective communication is the bedrock of any successful enterprise, and the power sector is no exception. It is a complex sector, often misunderstood and fraught with challenges.
The PSCT is our response to this. It is a platform for clear, consistent, and transparent communication, aimed at building trust and confidence in the sector.”
The Special Adviser to the Minister on Strategic Communications and Media Relations, Hon. Bolaji Tunji, who is also the Chairman of the team, in his speech, described communication as the backbone of trust and reliability.
He also said that it is a crucial aspect of the team’s work as providers of an essential utility to all Nigerians. Tunji said: “We have a responsibility to communicate effectively with all the stakeholders in the power sector value chain.
Without effective communication, we would be winking in the dark. Our vision is to transform the perception of the power sector by providing consistent, truthful, and insightful information that highlights the ongoing progress, challenges within the sector.
We believe that by fostering a culture of open communication, we can build the trust that is essential for our nation’s progress in this critical area. “Communication is the backbone of trust and reliability.
It’s the foundation upon which we build strong relationships with our different stakeholders and the people we serve all over the country.”
