The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has apologised to Nigerians over his comments about people leaving their freezer and air conditioners on. Addressing journalists at the ministerial press briefing a week ago, Adelabu criticised Nigerians who keep their freezers and air conditioners on when they are not home.
He said Nigerians lack the culture of power consumption management due to its affordability. He had said, “A lot of people will come back from work, they want to have dinner, or they want to see their colleagues down the road, they switch on the AC for the room to be cooling before they come back.
'It was actually an innocent advice with regards to energy consumption management which we believe will go a long way in reducing people's energy bills. 'And that advice was actually directed to those we believe because of the recent increase in tariff that start enjoying 20 to 22 hours of power supply.
