According to him, incidents of vandalization call for the need to expand the country’s energy infrastructure.

I believe the governors here would agree that the decentralisation of electricity is our path forward. “We will continue to promote the constitutional framework that empowers constituent states within the Nigerian federation to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity in areas covered by the national grid.
