“Why Electricity Supply Dropped Nationwide” – Power Minister, Adebayo Adelabu

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has disclosed the reasons behind the nationwide reduction in electricity supply.

Adelabu blamed gas constraints on thermal generating companies for the drop in power supply across the country.

This was made known to the public in a statement on Friday by Bolaji Tunji, special adviser, strategic communication and media relation to the Minister of Power.

According to him, the federal government is working to ensure outstanding payments are made to power generation companies to resolve the decrease in electricity supply.

In his words:

“This is mainly due to a decreased gas supply to generation companies.

“This situation has led to a lower level of energy supplied to load centres, affecting the electricity supply to distribution companies.

“This will also enable distribution companies to supply more electricity to Nigerians.

“We acknowledge the unsustainable situation and expect a turnaround immediately.”
