The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has called for sustained investments in the distribution end of the power value chain in the country.

Fashola made the call on Thursday, in Abuja when Mr Sherif Ismail, Assistant to the President of Egypt on National and Strategic Projects with some top Egyptian officials paid him a courtesy visit.

The minister said that the generation of power had increased by approximately 1,000 mega watt yearly, adding that the big challenge facing Nigeria’s power sector was its distribution end.

In terms of provision of metres and transformers, he said that the government of Egypt would be given the opportunity to support the existing companies partnering in metre provision.
