MINISTER OF POWER BEGS NIGERIANS OVER OUTAGES
Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, has apologised to Nigerians over poor electricity supply and incessant outages.
Speaking at a news conference in Abuja, on Tuesday, the Minister said efforts were being made to reverse the negative trend.
He acknowledged that the issue had brought about hardship, emphasising that the apology was necessary because he realised how the situation had disrupted businesses, schools, and industries.
“I want to apologise, coming from me as a Minister of power, for this temporary issue that is leading to hardship being experienced.”
“It is not our wish to find ourselves in this situation, but it is some factors that are actually beyond our control,” he said.
“We are working on it 24-7 to make sure that we go back to the trajectory of 2025, whereby you praised us and commended us for a good job well done
“And we can imagine, if we could provide such service in 2025, this is 2026, when we will be willing to even do more and better, as we are close to the election year.
“But I can assure you that in the next few weeks, all this will be over, power generation will improve, distribution will improve, and that 6,000 MHz will be achieved before the end of this year, and Nigerians will be better for it.”
