Plans for 24-hour electricity still in progress – Adelabu reassures Nigerians
The Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, has maintained that he is focused on plans to provide 24-hour electricity to Nigerians.
The Minister said this at the 1st Annual Socio-Economic Summit organized by the Jericho Business Club in Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to Adelabu, previous Tinubu administrations had made efforts to resolve the problems in the power sector.
He pointed out that the measures and plans taken by these administrations are ineffective and the policies are ineffective.
“The plan to provide 24-hour electricity to Nigerians is still ongoing and intact. Our people have suffered tremendously in terms of energy poverty,” he said .
The Minister said he was tasked with ensuring that what needed to be done was done for a stable and effective supply of electricity in the country.
However, he acknowledged that there are many problems in the power sector.
He further explained that in addition to the problems of distribution companies and consumers, the power generation sector also has its own problems.
“What we have done is identify these challenges and plan strategies for lasting and viable solutions,” he added.
