Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, said its N213bn Nigeria Electricity Market Stabilisation Facility, NEMSF, would improve generation, distribution and transmission of power in the country.

Special Assistant to CBN Governor on Energy Sector, Mr. Yinka Balogun, said this in Abuja on Monday at a roundtable on “Releasing Private Sector Capital for Investment in the Power Sector”.

He said the intervention fund would ensure that the power sector delivered tangible improvement in power supply for the benefit of all Nigerians.
