In a bold address on Thursday, Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, ignited a firestorm by calling out those hindering Nigeria’s power sector progress for selfish gains.
With a resolute tone, he pointed out the industry’s longstanding struggles despite decades of ministerial rotations.
“We’ve seen over 40 ministers come and go, yet hurdles persist,” Adelabu remarked, highlighting a systemic issue hampering Nigeria’s power ambitions.
His words echoed a frustration shared by many Nigerians grappling with erratic power supply.
Undeterred by opposition, Adelabu unveiled plans, including the completion of critical Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) projects.
“Nigerians will witness our impact once TCN projects are finalized,” he assured, hinting at a transformative era in power infrastructure.
Addressing tariff concerns, he clarified, “It’s not about cost but service quality.”
His stance reflected a commitment to fair pricing aligned with improved service standards, resonating with consumers seeking reliable electricity without exorbitant charges.
Central to his vision is the Ajah mobile substation, positioned strategically to bolster transmission capabilities and bridge energy gaps.
Its deployment in key locations signifies a concerted effort toward nationwide transmission efficiency and reliability.”The Ajah substation isn’t just a solution; it’s a game-changer,” Adelabu emphasized, stressing its adaptability during peak demands and emergencies.
This innovative approach promises uninterrupted power supply—a beacon of hope in Nigeria’s quest for energy stability.
