A right of reply article responds to Adeola Akinremi's piece titled 'Joseph Tegbe's Panic Response to Power Sector Reform'. The reply argues that while Akinremi raises legitimate questions about the proposed national electricity complaints call centre, using that single intervention to portray the Minister of Power as acting out of panic is an analytical leap. It notes that Nigeria already has a complaints architecture involving Distribution Companies and the regulator, but questions whether it is sufficiently effective, responsive, and accessible to millions of Nigerians. The article states that the proposed call centre is not the power-sector reform itself but one possible instrument within a broader reform process.
