Video: “Nigerians are Quite Pleased with the Improvement in Power Supply” President Goodluck Jonathan tells CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in Interview

President Goodluck Jonathan was interviewed by CNN’s Christiane Amanpour yesterday evening where he talked about several issues including power supply, Boko Haran and more.President Jonathan who spoke from Davos, Switzerland, where he is attending the World Economic Summit claimed that Nigerians were impressed with the current level of improvement in power, and that if there was one area “ordinary Nigerians” are pleased with his administration, it was power. He said:
“I would have loved that you ask ordinary Nigerians on the street of Lagos, Abuja or any other city this question about power. This is one area that Nigerians are quite pleased with the government that our commitment to improve power is working. So if you are saying something different, I’m really surprised. That is one area that even civil societies agree that the government has kept faith with its promise. “We have not got to where we should be and of course we know that power infrastructure is one investment that you must complete the chain before a bulb can light. You must generate, you must transmit, you must distribute and even if you have the money and the political will, you cannot do it overnight and we are working very hard, you cannot do it overnight.”
Hmmmm, Mr. President improved power??
