Babatunde Fashola, Minister of Power, Works and Housing, says some states in the country now enjoy “almost 24 hours” of electricity supply.

The minister attributed the increase in electricity supply to the increase in transmission capacity.

Fashola however added that even as the transmission grew with about 8,100 watts as of December, the distribution networks have been the major challenge in making power available all the time.

He said the federal government is ready to invest N72 billion to install transformers and expand distribution.

“Sitting down here I can tell you some states that have almost 24 hours – Kebbi, Yobe. Some have five, some have 10 and there are still outages,” Fashola said on a ChannelsTV programme.
