Power Sector Reform

2010–2012

As Senior Special Assistant to the President monitoring the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP),[12] Dagogo-Jack established an aggressive project monitoring, facilitation and reporting system which led to the commissioning of the first turbine unit at Olorunsogo power plant and other equally critical transmission projects after years of frequent project slippage.

2012–2014

Dagogo-Jack was part of the team whose initiative resulted in the raising of a $500m transmission capacity expansion facility from the Chinese EXIM Bank.[13] Under his supervision (and with close collaborative efforts of the sector agencies), Nigeria recorded the highest ever power supply so far delivered through the national grid of 4517MW in December 2012.

He was a chief facilitating agent in the delivery of all the factors which culminated in the successful handing over of all the sold Federal Government Generation and Distribution companies to the new private sector owners on 1 November 2013 and took the power sector reform to an irreversible threshold.

On 27 May 2014, President Goodluck Jonathan, GCFR, appointed Dagogo-Jack as Co-Chairman of the Inter-Ministerial Emergency Committee on Gas-to-Power, "charged with the responsibility to fast track the gas to fire plants revolution."[14]
