Tinubu’s administration revived dormant Siemens power deal, says German envoy

Johannes Lehne, Germany’s deputy head of mission in Nigeria, says the $2.3 billion Siemens power deal between the two nations remained largely dormant until President Bola Tinubu’s administration revived it.
Lehne spoke during the sub-Saharan Africa International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (SAIPEC) in Lagos.
He said the bilateral partnership in the power sector, which had stalled, has now gained renewed momentum under the current government.
