The Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has said Nigerians will enjoy uninterrupted electricity supply before the end of President Bola Tinubu’s tenure in 2027.

Adelabu gave the assurance on Saturday during the commissioning of the Kwaru 1X15MVA 33/11KV injection substation in the Ikotun-Egbe area of Lagos State.

He said the Federal Government was taking a multi-pronged approach to address long-standing challenges in generation, transmission, and distribution.

“The present administration in Nigeria, led by His Excellency, Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, with the Renewed Hope Agenda, recognises that energy is not merely a commodity; it is the backbone of economic growth and job creation.

“Nigerians can be assured of the President’s determination to ensure that citizens enjoy full and uninterrupted electricity supply before he leaves office,” the minister stated.

During the 2023 electoral campaign, Tinubu promised to work towards ensuring an uninterrupted power supply within four years in office.

This promise was recently questioned by the African Democratic Congress Interim National Publicity Secretary, Bolaji Abdullahi, who noted that more than halfway into Tinubu’s administration, there has been little progress in meeting the commitments made to voters.


But on Saturday, Adelabu said while the promise may not be fully met within four years, Tinubu’s goal remained achievable before 2027.

“To ensure the growth and sustainability of the sector, the Federal Government of Nigeria continues to implement a multi-pronged approach, which has yielded some remarkable achievements.”

Beyond improving electricity supply to communities such as Abaranje, Isijola, Igando Road, Omoboriowo, Okerube, and surrounding areas, Adelabu emphasised that the project would have far-reaching benefits for Lagos State’s economy.


“This initiative will reduce operational challenges caused by power shortages, provide direct support to small and medium-sized enterprises, stimulate economic growth, and create new job opportunities,” he said.

The minister highlighted key achievements under the Renewed Hope Agenda, including “the decentralisation and liberalisation of the power sector through the Electricity Act 2023, which has activated twelve state electricity markets and led to the development of a National Integrated Electricity Policy after 24 years.”

He noted, “The attraction of over $2bn in fresh investments to expand electricity access,” as well as “the transition towards full commercialisation, which increased the sector’s revenue by 70 per cent in 2024.”

Other milestones, according to Adelabu, include “an increase in Nigeria’s installed generation capacity from 13GW to 14GW, with an all-time peak of 5,801.44 MW and a maximum daily energy record of 128,370.75 MWh on March 4, 2025.”


He stated, “The stabilisation of the national grid through the Siemens Project, adding over 700 MW of transmission capacity,” and “the successful mobilisation of N700bn from FAAC for the Presidential Metering Initiative, alongside a $500m World Bank DISREP fund, which will add 3.45 million meters to the sector.”

However, Adelabu acknowledged ongoing challenges, particularly in distribution, where “loss levels exceed regulatory limits, market remittances fall short, and customer complaints about service disruptions persist.

“Under my leadership, the Federal Ministry of Power remains fully committed to working with Distribution Companies (DisCos) to address these issues and ensure energy security nationwide.”

The minister further commended Ikeja Electric for completing the substation project within 12 months, praising their “diligence, proper planning, stakeholder engagement, and technical expertise. Ikeja Electric is one of the top-performing DisCos in Nigeria.

“We recognise their efforts and urge even greater strides in expanding access and improving service quality.

“The Federal Ministry of Power remains committed to supporting initiatives that enhance energy reliability and affordability for all customers,” he said.

Don't be surprised that the people trying to pull this woman down in Africa Nigerians

People may not know that the Conservative opposition party Kemi Badenoch leads, she took over from Rishi Sunak, a British born man whose parents were Indian migrants

Let's tell our selves the truth, Nigeria has not got a good international reputation, and Kemi Badenoch, hoping to become the next British Prime Minister, cannot afford to identify with such a failure of a country

there's nothing like black americans, please point of correction, they are african americans
boycott as much as you can, the businesses will keep thriving right before their eyes and nothing can be done about it

but on the other hand, owners of these businesses must honestly look into the reasons for the boycott and make moves to correct and improve their services

Agbero, touts, owomida, ajagungbale, special advisers. How many manufacturing are functioning. Who is buying the goods. How come unemployment is still high?

Then how much does it take to build a new airport? Sincerely speaking, this people are taking Nigerians for granted.

It is visible to the blind and audible to the deaf that the economic policies of this present administration have brought untold hardship on Nigerians and as well, plunged many into the poverty index. This, of course, may be largely due to the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira at the beginning of this administration.

Many nations of the world have devised various economic policies to tackle the economic woes bedeviling them, and these have been done in relation to the economic realities peculiar to them. While some of the policies have brought economic prosperity to these nations, others have failed woefully. I believe economic policies are not a one-size-fits-all thing. Whatever economic blueprint that worked for country A may not work for country B. That a particular economic policy lifted India out of recession doesn't mean it will work for Burundi. And how do we confirm/conclude that an economic policy is successful? It's how it impacts on the citizens of the country.
If an economic policy or blueprint is intended to better the lives of the citizens of a country, and upon implementation, the reverse happens to be the case, such policy should be discontinued. It means such policy is not feasible and doesn't align with the economic realities of that country.

On that note, I would call on President Tinubu and his economic team to revisit the economic blueprint of this administration, cos it isn't working. It has brought untold hardship on Nigerians, and has taken many from the middle-class into poverty. Tinubu's economic policies have failed!

They say, the people of Nigeria have to endure,there's no money.

we have to pay high prices,cost reflective tariffs,high transport fares,high taxes for everything.

No more cheap things,we are lazy and used to free things.

But the non lazy free things loving political elites have money to purchase 21 brand new vehicles costing over a billion for the LGA chairmen in kogi.

This is what subsidy money removed and given to governors is used for.

obeegee:
Most african countries have a widely spoken local language in addition to the language of their colonizers.

Ghana has Akan. East Africa swahili. South Africa zulu. Zimbabwe Shona. Niger rep hausa.

So yes the poster has a point.

The issue I find is that these countries are not as culturally diverse as us. Even when they have multiple ethnic groups, there is a dominant one which has everyone learn that language.

Many northerners in nigeria are not hausa, but most speak hausa. So, by population there are more hausa speakers in nigeria than other languages. So maybe we should teach in schools and adopt hausa as our national language.

But ethnic rivalries wont allow this.

Blacks have invented nothing of value in this world. The highest structure in Africa before the advent of Europeans in Africa was built by termites (Ants) not humans.

Sowore didn't spare Buhari on his Facebook page:

Muhammadu Buhari slaughtered hundreds of Shiites, men, women and even children

He ordered soldiers Of the HQ Nigerian Army to open fire on peaceful #EndSARS protesters waving the Nigerian flag.

He "disappeared" Dadiyata.

He ordered the massacre of young southeasterners he branded IPOB.


He disobeyed court orders, jailed critics arbitrarily, destroyed the economy, and ruined everything he touched.


And now, because he's dead, some people with selective memory want us to mourn or worship him?

Shameful.

NO, we do not mourn tyrants. We remember their victims.

MemphitzDgreat1:
There's nothing absolutely good to say about Buhari

God1000:
Rest in peace General

But I don't know why African leaders have refused to build good hospitals that can treat them, they prefer going abroad for medical treatment after serving for so many years, even our current president doesn't believe in our health care system, we still have a long way to go.

Nonexisting1:
Imagine the combination of Tinubu, Cameroon president and Ugandan president in that meeting. One could easily conclude that it was a meeting for residents of an old people's home and Trump would have finished them with his bad mouth.
