The Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) has kicked against the privatisation of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), describing it as part of the several schemes to cripple the North economically by shortchanging it in the process.
The spokesperson of the group, Mr. Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, stated this yesterday while addressing a press conference in Abuja, saying the planned privatisation of Calabar, Ihovbor, Olorunsogo and Geregu Power Plants by NDPHC would be resisted by the North.
He said having studied the proposal carefully, “CNG has concluded that it was the most dubious, unreasonable and unacceptable act of injustice that is being perpetrated against Nigerians collectively and northerners in particular.”
