ROLES OF MANAGEMENT, THE PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF WORKERS IN PUBLIC SERVICES
Chapter One
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Electricity development in Nigeria began around the end of the nineteenth century, when the first generating plant was erected in the city of Lagos in 1898 by the then-colonial administration under the control of the Public Works Department.
Local and municipal governments later established other electrical projects throughout the country. From this point forward, and until 1950, the pattern of electricity development was in the form of separate electrical projects put up in various towns.
In 1950, the federal government passed the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria Ordinance No. 15 of 1950 to unify and make power development in the country functional.
This ordinance consolidated all of the power projects owned and operated by local and municipal governments under the jurisdiction of the public works department.
The Nigerian Electricity Corporation, also known as C.C.N, was established as the statutory entity in charge of generation, transmission, and distribution in Nigeria.
In 1962, parliament passed legislation establishing the Nigeria Dams Authority. It was tasked with the construction and upkeep of dams and other infrastructure on the Niger River and elsewhere. Its functions included generating electricity through water power, improving navigation, and boosting fisheries and agriculture.
Construction on the Kainji Dam began in March 1964 and was finished on time in December 1968. Based on the pervasive buck passing between the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria (ECN) and the Niger Dams Authority (NDA) over periodic power outages in the country, the federal government decided to unite the organisations into a single agency.
In 1970, exactly one year after the above decision was made, the federal government hired a Canadian consulting firm, Shawmont Limited, to look into the merger’s technical aspects. The report was submitted in 1971, and by decree N0. 24 of June 27, 1972 (effective April 1, 1972)
the federal government amalgamated the Electricity Corporation of Nigeria (ECN) and the Niger Dam Authority to become the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA).
NEPA began operations in January 1973, when a general manager was appointed with the responsibility to create, transmit, and distribute power to all areas of the federal government while charging customers as little as possible for their usage.
This edict assigned NEPA the primary obligation of providing power to the whole Nigerian population.
