No Grid Collapse in Four Months – Power Minister Praise Nigeria Stable Electricity
Nigeria’s power sector has gone four straight months without a national grid collapse, according to Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu.
Speaking during the sixth Ministerial Press Briefing in Abuja, Adelabu said the country is seeing more stability in electricity supply due to better generation capacity and ongoing power sector reforms.
He highlighted a recent milestone where the grid handled 5,801.63 megawatts without crashing, a sharp contrast to the past when it would collapse at just 5,000 megawatts.
Adelabu also noted that the April 2024 tariff adjustment for Band A customers boosted revenue in the sector by 70 percent and helped reduce the tariff shortfall by N700 billion.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris, emphasized that reliable power remains central to President Tinubu’s goal of industrializing Nigeria.
