“Power Will Be Back in the North Within Five Days” – Adelabu Assures Residents
Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, has reassured that the power supply to the 17 northern states experiencing a blackout due to the recent vandalization of the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission line will soon be restored.
He gave this update after meeting with President Bola Tinubu, expressing confidence that power would be back within the next five days.
Adelabu explained that the President has directed the National Security Adviser (NSA) and other security agencies to ensure adequate protection for the repair teams.
With full security in place, workers from the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), alongside contractors, will feel secure enough to head to the site and carry out repairs without disruption.
He acknowledged the impact of the blackout on communities in the north, describing it as a shared concern.
Addressing the region directly, he urged patience and understanding, assuring citizens that electricity would soon return.
Adelabu also emphasized the need for collective effort in safeguarding the national grid, noting that it’s critical for long-term stability and avoiding future incidents.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
