Firms scale NCPs hurdle for Afam power bid

Published by The Nation on Wed, 17 Apr 2019


The National Council on Privatisation (NCP) has granted approval to Diamond Stripes Consortium, Transcorp Power Consortium and Unicorn Consortium to proceed to the financial bids opening stage for the acquisition of 100 per cent shares in the Afam Electricity Generation Company (Afam Power Plc & Afam Three Fast Power Limited).Rising from its first meeting at the Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja, the Council noted that the two consortia met the benchmark score of 750 points after evaluation in accordance with the criteria set out in the Requests for Proposal (RfPs).The BPE, in a statement said other decisions taken by the Council include: approval for Quest Electric Nigeria Limited to proceed to the financial bids opening stage for the re-privatisation of the Yola Electricity Distribution Company (YEDC); appointment of Lead Capital Consortium as Financial Adviser for the restructuring, recapitalisation and partial privatisation of the Bank of Agriculture (BoA); and delisting of Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja from post Privatisation monitoring by the BPE.Others are privatisation of the Nigeria Communication Satellite Limited (NigComSat) through a strategic core investor sale and commencement of the process of listing it in the schedule of the Public Enterprises (Privatisation& Commercialisation) Act 1999; and the appointment of Vesta Healthcare Partners as consultant to carry out a diagnostic review of the Nigerian Health Sector.The privatisation of Afam Power Plc & Afam Three Fast Power Limited could not be concluded during the first round of the power privatisation in 2013 due to issues arising from gas supply to the plant.Following the termination of the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) signed between Taleveras (the then Preferred Bidder) and BPE in 2016, Council at its meeting of 2107 approved the privatisation of the enterprise based on a strategy to be recommended by the Transaction Advisers.For the YEDC, although it was successfully privatised and handed over to the core investor in 2013, a force majeure was declared in 2015 by the core investor citing insecurity in the Northeast region of the country. Following this, the company was duly repossessed by the Federal Government.It is expected that the successful bidders will be responsible for operating the generation and distribution companies, making the necessary investments to improve the generation and distribution networks and customer service in line with the objectives of the Federal Government of Nigeria set out in the National Electric Power Policy (NEPP).
