Over 40% of Nigerians now enjoy 20 hours of electricity supply – Power Minister

The Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu on Sunday, September 29, said that over 40 percent of Nigerians now enjoy 20 hours of electricity supply daily.


Adelabu in a statement explained that the feat was achieved using measures adopted by the government to ensure that Nigerians enjoy more stable and regular electricity supply.


“This feat is as a result of many of the revolutionary measures being undertaken by the Power Minister, with the support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu”, he added.


He said one of the major and significant achievements of his ministry within the last one year is that “today, we are generating over 5,500 megawatts of power”.


Adelabu emphasized that stable electricity in any economy cannot be overemphasized.


The major achievement is the fact that today we generate over 5,500 megawatts of power, we transmit and distribute it, and over 40% of customers today enjoy over 20 hours of regular power supply across the nation. You can see that there is a significant improvement between when we came in and now, which we intend to improve further”, he said in part.


Personally I find this news to be false coming from the minster of power, a lot of work still needs to be done before we even get to that 40% all the same it can be counted as progress but then it should be the bare minimum and nothing to even talk about, considering how often the national grind collapses.
