Senator Dr. Victor Umeh OFR, representing Anambra Central in the Senate has emphasised the need for the Federal government to invest more on energy supply to boost the economy of the country. Umeh made the call at Amorji Nike near Enugu on Monday at the inauguration of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) 7.5 MVA injection sub-section. The senator decried the amount of electricity being generated in the country adding that the problem of Nigeria was poor generation of power followed by distribution. “Nigeria is a very large country and demands much energy to supply light and boost economic development. “Nigeria has battled for this for so many years but needs to improve in power generation,’’ he said. The senator disclosed that for industries to function well, sufficient power supply was needed, adding that money was not the problem. CONTINUITY 2019
