The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has acknowledged that many Nigerians are still without reliable electricity despite ongoing efforts by the Federal Government to improve power supply across the country


Tegbe, who disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Tuesday, said he understood the frustration of Nigerians who had yet to experience the improvements being recorded in the power sector since he assumed office three months ago.
He said his administration had focused largely on diagnosing and addressing longstanding challenges in the sector, including restoring the 375-megawatt Alaoji power plant after three years offline.

“We spent much of this period on diagnosis and repair; restoring the 375MW Alaoji plant after three years offline, unlocking transmission capacity in Lagos, Abuja and other places, mobilising funds toward a debt burden that has quietly undermined this sector for years,” he said.

The minister added that the government had also deployed more than 350,000 electricity meters following the resolution of what he described as a legal quagmire involving the Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors and Manufacturers of Nigeria.

Tegbe, however, admitted that the measures had yet to translate into reliable electricity for many Nigerians.

“Admittedly, many Nigerians are still without reliable power, and I understand the frustration of hearing about progress you haven’t personally felt yet. I’m not going to pretend that away,” he said.


According to him, fixing the power sector would require time and sustained reforms, stressing that he would not make promises of quick solutions that would not be sustainable.


No plan to increase electricity tariff, says FG
The minister also said there was no plan to increase electricity tariffs, adding that his position was not politically motivated.

“To be clear: there’s no plan to raise tariffs, and this is no political statement,” he said.

Tegbe restated his commitment to improving grid stability, electricity supply reliability and billing accuracy, while ensuring faster resolution of consumer complaints.

He thanked officials working in the sector under difficult conditions and Nigerians who continued to engage with the government on the challenges facing electricity supply.

“We’re not there yet, but we’re moving,” he said.

So who are those Nigerians you said were begging you to switch off power that their "freezers are now freezing" some days ago? It is understandable why every govt appointee under this Tinubu's irresponsible regime is a chronic irredeemable pathological liar..

The fish always start rotting from the head. They have made lying an official policy of govt. Hence they forge certificates, forge budgets, forge MDAs or anything forgeable.

They breath lies! Small of lies. Ooze stench of lies and have lies genetically engrained in their DNA genome. Nigeria have never seen it this horrible. So sad! Too bad.

Finally.
I hope he doesn't get sacked for saying the undeniable truth.

Lies everywhere.

Sebi him talk say Nigerians are begging him to slow down since all their freezers are freezing.

Who did this to us in Nigeria?

They think we're dunce.

Time would tell.

Shame on our leaders. Now you've swallowed your own vomit?

No mind that olodo of a minister, Nigeria's ministerial offices are being handled by incompetent people. But due to tribe and political favoritism they occupy those spaces doing nothing.

ADIGBE Abeokuta we can’t boast of 3hrs light daily. We can go 7 days without light it’s really that bad

To shame the devil, we've been experiencing more steady electricity supply but the tariffs have increased exponentially.

This was the same useless man who said many Nigerians are telling him that their electricity supply is two much and getting out of hand.


Today he has started saying another thing.


I don't know why they play with lies.


😎😎😎

Some kids were here, defending stable electricity. I dont blame them, they have changed their brain orientation in their WhatsApp groups.

Many Nigerians? Or Nigerians?
APC is made up of foxy people.

ahhhhhh ahhhhh what about the part of slowing down cos their freezer can't defrost from too much electricity supply abi that one na lamba?

Change the many to most or majority.

APC and lies.
A party of liars and zombies.

Volt face!

Someone must have called the minister to order. How could you be saying that power has become water in Nigeria, so much so that people were calling for you to slow down? Haba!

Sabadon:
ahhhhhh ahhhhh what about the part of slowing down cos their freezer can't defrost from too much electricity supply abi that one na lamba?

he is right, there is noticable improvement in electricity supply to some areas, for instance I'm enjoying 24hrs supply here in my area for the past 3 months and still counting

Same you said Nigerians told you the freezer is freezing...

Meanwhile Aso Rock relies on solar

its been like that for over 9months in more than 35% of my LGA really with almost more than that% already on prepaid meters

The mprovement experiencing now is caused by too much rain this year.

The rivers/sea is over filled. Resulting to higher dam.

Dry season is coming so prepared.

The nuisance don change music again from they are begging me because of fridge are over freezing due to excessive power, to some Nigerians do have access to electrical power You go talk 🦜 true. OBESKETE.

Dont vote for me for a second term if I do not give you constant electricity.... who said this?


Everybody will Stevie Wonder ...but a man who is not even in power says he will stop campaigning if they find any thing on him from his tenure and everyone suddenly turns into investigators

This person wey dey support his own corrupt people, dey call others corrupt.

OK o. LOL.

Wants us to vote for his side that did not do anything about the power situation and is infact responsible for the power cuts we have.

Eh, Racoon?

pot meet kettle.

Well, you cannot wipe off decades of the effect of people not paying a cost reflective tarrif in a few months.

Nigeria is not going to have light until we let the power sector operate like the GSM sector. Simple and short.

Also, since tinubu did not fufil his promise of sustained light, time for him to go. Politicans should not lie to their people for votes. The power sector in Nigeria cannot be fixed in two or three years, it is something that would take over a decade to fix. But APC people want to be elected, so they lie.

The talker of that statement has ported to SOLAR POWER (GREEN ENERGY), whilst his constituents are left to fend for themselves.

Agbo ti ku yo. Ggogbo. When this man said there is lights for Nigerian you come for him,when he said some Nigerian have not have electricity you still came for his head, the question is are you having lights on your areas or not. For my side is 90% stability lights for now ✨️

Let tinubu hear this sogbo
U go explain tire
Na ur village u go dey work next

Some parts of this country are enjoying stable electricity. That you are not seeing it doesn't mean there is no improvement. And that is what the minister is trying to pass across.

Tulumbu said if I don't give u power don't vote for me

So electricity has not being fixed as admitted by their minister

So why is renewed hope 2.0 going on

We dont need you to acknowledge it...cho cho cho, get the job done

You have come to that position for such a time as this
