Following his sudden exit from President Goodluck Jonathan’s cabinet, ex-Minister of Power, Prof. Barth Nnaji, has opened up on the activities that led to his controversial resignation.
Reacting to the issue on Wednesday, he said he was forced to resigned because some “powerful vested interests” were bent on tarnishing his image. The former minister however insisted that he is proud that he left at a time that power generation and supply had greatly improved in the country.
Denying media reports that he had conflict of interest in his handling of the power sector reform, Prof Nnaji said: “I am confident enough to allow history and the Nigerian people to judge my performance on the task that I accepted from the President.”
He said he did all he was expected to do as a business owner before accepting the job of Minister of Power but that those who do not want Nigerians to enjoy steady power supply are uncomfortable with the fast progress he was making in the sector.

Jonathan's so called transformation agenda is for the crooks that sponsored his election. Failed system syndrome. Barry
ReplyDeleteBut he was part of the "Progress" by allowing his own private firms to bid for contracts in a ministry Which he oversees! That is double dipping cos he was in a position to divert contracts to his private businesses using his influence as a Minister. That is wrong Mr Prof!
ReplyDeleteYou are right that he was there to steal. Nigerians will continue to go through all this rubbish not until an Igbo man become president.
ReplyDeleteWhy were prof fighting PHCN staff before he resign? U ar part of the corrupt govt no doubt. @ as 4 de last person dat make comment here, igbo man cannot solve nigeria problem.
