Adebayo Adelabuinister of power, says the ministry is correcting over 60 years of inaction in the electricity sector.
He said vandals destroy national assets and deprive the government of the ability to provide stable and affordable electricity to homes, industries, and all critical sectors of the economy.“It is shameful for a nation of over 200 million people to still be on 5,000MW of electricity at this age. Let me tell you that some of the transformers we are still using today are 64 years old,” he said.
“This is a reflection of the actions and inactions of the past 60 years. We have not done what is right in this sector in the past 60 years and that is what we are correcting now.“So, President Bola Tinubu desires to move away from this narrative and give Nigerians what they deserve in terms of energy and power supply and that is what we are set to achieve in the ministry now.
