The Renewed Hope Ambassador Coordinator for Agege Federal Constituency, High Chief (Alhaji) Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi, has commended President <\/span>Bola Ahmed Tinubu<\/span> for establishing the Grid Asset Management Company (GAMCO), describing the initiative as a bold and strategic step toward strengthening Nigeria\u2019s electricity transmission system and restoring stability to the national power grid.<\/span><\/p>\n

Egunjobi said the creation of GAMCO represents one of the most significant reforms introduced by the current administration in the power sector, particularly in addressing long-standing structural challenges within Nigeria\u2019s electricity value chain.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to him, the initiative demonstrates the President\u2019s commitment to building a more efficient and professionally managed transmission infrastructure capable of delivering generated electricity across the country without the technical losses and operational inefficiencies that have affected the sector for decades.<\/span><\/p>\n

He noted that the establishment of the Grid Asset Management Company is expected to introduce a modern framework for managing national grid assets while improving coordination across the electricity market, including generation, transmission, distribution and regulatory oversight.<\/span><\/p>\n

Egunjobi explained that the committee responsible for the programme will undertake a comprehensive review of existing policies, institutional frameworks and relevant legislation guiding the electricity sector, with particular attention to the implications of ongoing electricity reforms and the restructuring of the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Agege political leader added that the review would help identify regulatory overlaps, legal inconsistencies and structural gaps that could hinder the effective implementation of the GAMCO framework.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Tinubu has once again demonstrated the kind of leadership Nigeria requires at this critical moment,\u201d Egunjobi said, noting that the reform signals a deliberate effort to build stronger institutions within the power sector capable of delivering reliable electricity to homes, businesses and industries.<\/span><\/p>\n

He further stated that the initiative could attract significant investment in power infrastructure, strengthen regulatory independence and encourage greater private sector participation in Nigeria\u2019s electricity market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Egunjobi also noted that the reforms reflect a shift toward long-term planning and a culture of regular maintenance of electricity infrastructure, a practice he said has helped advanced economies maintain stable power systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that strengthening the transmission backbone of the electricity industry would unlock stranded generation capacity, improve electricity supply to households and businesses and position Nigeria for long-term energy security and sustainable economic growth.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
