The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has said that the majority of Nigerian manufacturers, industries and other bulk electricity users have boycotted the country's national grid over a lack of trust and confidence. The minister disclosed this on Thursday in his speech at the retreat of the board of the Nigeria Electricity Liability Management Company in Lagos.
He regretted that, despite generating a record 5,155 megawatts in July, the electricity is not being taken up due to distribution constraints. He said: “The majority of bulk electricity users, such as industries, are off the grid due to a lack of trust and confidence in the past. “They now have their captive power plants in their industries, which is more expensive.
