“We have realised that in the past, temporary solutions were applied to the challenges without dealing with the root cause,” he said.

Also, he urged state governments to leverage the New Electricity Act and get involved, adding that the act has brought about unity in diversity.

“You can always call on me to intervene; I will stand by you, and I know that once the States start to perform and take on further responsibilities, it means I have also performed.

“When each of the states starts getting involved, there will be healthy rivalry akin to what we used to have in the days of regional government, he said.
