Epileptic Power Supply: Minister Apologoses, Says Beyond His Control

THE Minister of Power, Bayo Adelabu, has apologised to Nigerians over epileptic power supply across the country, saying it was beyond his control.
Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, March 24, in Abuja, Adelabu stated: “I want to apologise, coming from me as Minister of Power, for this temporary issue that is leading to hardship being experienced,” he said.
Adelabu said the apology was necessary given the dry season, which has caused extreme heat and disrupted businesses, schools and industries.
“It is not our wish to find ourselves in this situation, but it is some factors that are actually beyond our control.”
He assured that government remained committed to ensuring adequate power supply across the country, adding: “We are working on it 24-7 to make sure that we go back to the trajectory of 2025, whereby you praised us and commended us for a good job well done.
“And we can imagine, if we could provide such service in 2025, this is 2026, when we will be willing to even do more and better, as we are close to the election year.
“Government cannot help it, that’s why we find ourselves here. But I can assure you that in the next few weeks, all this will be over, power generation will improve, distribution will improve, and that 6,000 MHz will be achieved before the end of this year, and Nigerians will be better for it.”
