Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has reaffirmed his pledge on the plan to provide 24-hour electricity to Nigerians.

Mr. Adelabu recognised the efforts made by the past administrations to solve the challenges in the power sector but noted that measures and policies taken by those administrations were ineffective.

The Minister stated the current administration’s commitment to achieve its mandate of a steady and effective electricity supply in the country.
While admitting the numerous challenges faced by the power sector, He further highlighted that the power-generating sector has its own problems, coupled with those of the distribution companies and consumers.
He stated the government’s proactive approach in identifying these challenges and devising sustainable solutions
“What we have done is to identify these challenges and map out strategies for enduring and workable solutions,” the minister explained.
