Uncoordinated actions in electricity regulations across states could threaten the stability and efficiency of Nigeria’s interconnected national grid, potentially causing power disruptions and undermining investor confidence, Adebayo Adelabu, the Minister of Power, has said

He spoke on Tuesday at a meeting with state commissioners for energy on state electricity market development.

He emphasized the importance of federal involvement in state-level electricity market developments.

He explained that while states have the constitutional right to shape their markets, coordination with the Federal Government .

Adelabu emphasized the import of strong partnerships between Federal and state governments for accelerated electrification, expanding access to reliable and affordable power, and deepening market development.

He said such synergy will enable the two parties to safeguard the integrity of the national grid, optimise resources, and provide reliable and affordable electricity to all Nigerians.

He urged the commissioners to prioritise the electrification of unserved and underserved communities within their states.

He said expanding access for those who need it most remains a central pillar of the country’s national electrification agenda.

He reiterated the importance and the need for strong regulatory alignment and synergy across the entire electricity value chain.

“Our common goal is to ensure that every Nigerian, regardless of location, has access to reliable electricity that powers homes, businesses, industries, and drives our collective economic growth. To achieve this, regulators at the Federal and State levels must work hand in hand to harmonise standards, coordinate frameworks, and provide investors with clarity and confidence in the stability of the market.

“A fragmented regulatory environment, where different rules and standards apply without alignment, creates uncertainty for investors and operators alike. It can lead to disputes, inefficiencies, duplicated efforts, and conflicting obligations that ultimately slow down sector development.

“By maintaining strong regulatory cooperation, we can create a level playing field, attract more private sector participation, protect consumers, and ensure that everyone is working towards the same vision of a modern, efficient, and inclusive electricity sector that supports Nigeria’s economic ambitions.” he said.

The Governor of Benue State, Rev. Fr. Hyacinth Alia, has suspended the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Bemsen Mnyim, for joining in the suit challenging the legality of the country’s anti-graft agencies.

The Eagle Online recalls some states dragged the Federal Government to court over the legality of the country’s anti-graft agencies.

The agencies that are of interest to the states are the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission.

A statement on Wednesday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Tersoo Kula, disclosed that Alia announced the suspension of Mnyim after the Benue State Executive Council meeting, also on Wednesday.
Kula said the governor gave the directive at the Government House during a press conference.

He stated that the suspension was necessitated by Mnyim’s ultra vires decision to join the state in a suit challenging the legality of the EFCC and ICPC.

He said: “No appointee is permitted to act unilaterally.

“No matter how pressing or urgent the issue is, one must resort to due consultations with me or appropriately brief me and seek my permission before acting, especially in a sensitive matter such as this.

“My administration is holding accountable those who embezzled money and drained our state dry.

“The EFCC and ICPC are assisting us in this effort.

“How can I now turn around and begin to challenge these watchdogs?

“I gave no permission for him to enter an appearance for the state.

“Because he acted on his own, I hereby suspend him indefinitely pending a satisfactory explanation of his actions.”

Osibanjo and Buhari are still part of the problems we're facing currently, he should shut up!

givedemwotowoto:
Funny how Nigeria’s economy is collapsing since 2015 under Buhari and Tinubu but the same urchins are still all over the internet blaming others for their foolishness

Remman:
Hike on darkness! At least they all admit that nobody in Nigeria has 24 hours power supply but a few hours. Let FG loan our electricity production and distribution to either Korea, Japan, or Chinese companies to give us steady electricity for a 10years loan term and see how they will build dams, solar systems, powerful gas and wind turbines here in Nigeria, then rewire and fully metre this country in just six months and darkness and evil estimated billings will be a thing of the past. The present situation we have now is making some people very rich, that's why our electricity system can never upgrade until the right thing is done.

what's the angel doing there?

tunwumi:
This story no balance. How did they get access to the office of CDS? Is CDS like a LG boss office?

What contract were they advertising?

Who are the victims?

So many questions are begging for answers here.


I hope the are not the fall guys...

Because the fire incident does not support their heretic logics.

The incident proves that the pastors don't see visions as much as they claim.

The incident ridicules the claim that those who pay tithes cannot suffer misfortunes. The pastors collect and pay tithes.

The incident ridicules the saying that, "What God cannot do does not exist".

It is also rumoured that the fire is a smokescreen to demolish the building to cover up structural defects and prevent the building from collapsing. The rumour may or may not be true. But I am yet to hear the suspected or confirmed cause of the fire outbreak.

kokoA:
I don't really understand this power sector in Nigeria again. How come government owes so much in an industry they claimed has been "privatised"?
