This collaboration will also lead a growth in capacity for Nigerians especially in the power sectors. Power, Works and Housing Minister, Babatunde Fashola, says the federal government is working hard to diversify the Nations energy mix and reduce over dependence on gas powered generating stations.

He adds that the Federal Government will continue to collaborate with partners like the Canadian Government something he describes as a case of expanding on what has been done before.
