Electricity supply to improve soon- Minister of power, Adelabu
The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu has stated that the Bola Tinubu administration is making effort at resolving the fundamental structural problems that have plagued the electricity industry for many years.
The continuous increase in the nation’s electricity supply, according to Adelabu, is only the beginning of what will happen in the upcoming years.

He made this claim on Friday in an interview with reporters soon after the Eid-el-Kabir prayers were held at the Agodi Prayer Ground in Ibadan.
Adelabu expressed optimism that in the coming years, the sector will deliver far more improved service, which will see electricity supply serving every Nigerian home, household, businesses, institutions, and industries.
He said, “Let me say that the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. Rome was not built in a day. And for you to build a solid building, there must be a very solid and reliable foundation. The power sector had some serious foundational structural issues, which we have been able to correct with this administration.
“The little improvement that you have seen is just a tip of the iceberg. You still witness major improvement in power supply.”
He revealed that during Thursday’s ceremony in Port Harcourt where a power plant was inaugurated, the President reiterated his statement that he is not going to back down from his pledge to light up the entire nation.

“President Tinubu assured that his major objective is to make sure that he electrifies every Nigerian home, household, businesses, institutions, and industries. And I can tell you that we are not relenting. What you have seen is just one and a half years.
“I resumed this job in September 2023. This is just the end of May, and you have seen a little. I promise you that within the next one year, you are going to see major improvement that will develop our industries, that will resuscitate our small and cottage businesses, that will bring happiness back to homes where everywhere is lit up and there will not be darkness,” he said.
