The Federal Government has faulted claims by the World Bank report which indicated that 78% of power consumers in Nigeria get less than 12 hours of daily electricity supply.
The government in a statement issued by the Special Adviser to the President on Infrastructure, Mr Ahmad Rufai Zakari, in Abuja, said it was unclear what empirical evidence the World Bank used to arrive at the figures, insisting that power distribution to consumers is steadily improving.
Zakari while responding to the Power Sector Recovery Programme Opinion Research Fact Sheet released by the World Bank on Friday, said it is inaccurate to make a blanket statement that 78% of Nigerians have less than 12 hours daily access,
