Electricity: Group lauds REA for transparent, efficient service delivery
The Association of Rural Electrification Contractors of Nigeria (ARECON) has commended the Managing Director, Rural Electricity Agency (REA), Mr Abba Aliyu, for enhancing transparency and efficiency the agency’s service delivery.
The National Public Relation Officer of ARECON, Mr Rotimi Raheem, gave the commendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Abuja.
According to him, it is only unpatriotic individuals that will always want to bring down REA and its management team.
“It is worthy to note that malicious and complete falsehood going on in the social media concerning Rural Electrification Agency will not help the electricity sector.
“ARECON has therefore aligned itself with the lofty ideas of Aliyu in moving the Agency forward in the right direction.
“We therefore advise the general public to shun any form of fake news, misinformation, disinformation and fabricated allegations against the REA.
“We know that in this era of fake news, some regressive minds would want to involve in mischievous endeavours to rundown a progressive individual.
“Such retrogressive minds have become uncomfortable with the open transparency been adopted by Aliyu and his management team in repositioning REA for a greater efficiency and project delivery,’’ Raheem said.
