Power Sector Crisis: Barth Nnaji Loses Out, Resigns

Professor Barth Nnaji has become a high profile casualty in the crisis in Nigeria’s power sector as President Goodluck Jonathan on Tuesday “accepted” his resignation as the Minister of Power with immediate effect.

A statement by Presidential spokesman, Reuben Abati said President Jonathan thanked Prof. Nnaji “for his services to the nation under the present administration and wishes him well in his future endeavours.”
