You have mentioned how you have succeeded in solving the problem of power in Egypt.<br \/>\n\u201c Which is a very interesting development because as an ambassador to Nigeria you have been here for some time, you are aware how we are facing this issue in this country, \u2019\u2019he said.<br \/>\nAliyu said that the Federal Government would reactivate the collaboration between the two countries and also give response on when a team from the ministry of power can visit Egypt.<br \/>\nHe said the ministry would discuss and set up a team that will come up with key points and areas the Federal Government can engage with the Government of Egypt.<br \/>\nAccording to him, the team will also see how a delegation from the ministry can find time to visit Egypt.<br \/>\n\u201cYou talked about the discussion which President Muhammadu Buhari had with Egypt President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi , this is very important and that will help us.<br \/>\n\u201c President Muhammadu Buhari is very concerned with the issue of power so will not relent. We will meet to ensure you get some feedback from us, \u201dthe minister said.<br \/>\nEarlier, Awad, told the minister that he visited the ministry around April or May where consultation between the two governments took place in the area of collaboration between Nigeria and Egypt in the area of power generation.<br \/>\nHe said that the collaboration was widely discussed,  where special emphasis was placed on potential and prospect that awaits the two countries to collaborate in the area of power generation.<br \/>\n\u201c We also concluded that an MoU could provide the political, leading framework so that collaboration could be developed.<br \/>\n\u201c On the basis of that, invitation was extended to your predecessor on leading a high power delegation from the ministry of power to visit Egypt to discuss and examine the specific areas of collaboration that we addressed during the consultation<br \/>\n\u201cDuring my former visit to the ministry, we also came to a common understanding that there was need for collaboration between your government and our country in the area of revitalising and renewing the power generation.<br \/>\n\u201c Power grid and distribution system drawing point from the discussion that took place between President Muhammadu Buhari and President of Egypt,  Abdul Fattah al-Sisi   in 2019 during the Nigeria\u2019s President visit to Egypt, \u201dhe said.<br \/>\nAwad said that the future is on renewable energy adding that during the consultation, discussion also took place on the potential of sharing experience in the area of solar energy generation.<\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-33233\" data-postid=\"33233\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-33233 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nigeria is considering a collaboration with Egypt to boost power supply, the Minister of Power, Mr Abubakar Aliyu, said in Abuja on Tuesday.
