The Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu, has assured Nigerians of the prompt restoration of electricity supply after a recent decline caused by a temporary shortfall in power generation
Mr Bolaji Tunji, Special Adviser on Strategic Communications and Media Relations to the Minister of Power, made this known in a statement in Abuja on Tuesday night.

Tunji said that the minister gave the assurance during a meeting held with key power sector stakeholders, including the Nigeria Independent System Operator (NISO).

According to him, the situation is expected to be resolved within the next 24 to 48 hours

I believe that Energy Minister Adebayo Adelabu's statement reflects both the urgency and the pressure the government is facing right now. The recent power outage has affected millions of homes and businesses, generating frustration and concern across the country. The fact that a meeting has been convened with key stakeholders in the sector, including the Nigeria Independent System Operator (NISO), shows that an attempt is being made to coordinate a swift and effective response. However, beyond the promise to restore service within 24 to 48 hours, what we truly need is a sustainable plan to prevent these crises from recurring. Nigeria's power sector has suffered from years of underinvestment, outdated infrastructure, and mismanagement. Public trust will depend on the solutions being not merely temporary, but rather part of a long-term strategy that ensures stability and growth.
