Senator Shehu Sani reacts as Babatunde Fashola says some states now enjoy almost 24 hours of power supply
Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has revealed
that some states in Nigeria now enjoy “almost 24 hours” of electricity
supply.
Speaking in a recent interview with Channels TV, the minister said
the increase in electricity supply is as a result of the increase in
transmission capacity.
Fashola said even as the transmission grew with about 8,100 watts as
of December, the distribution networks have been the major challenge in
making power available all the time.
“Sitting down here I can tell you some states that have almost 24
hours – Kebbi, Yobe. Some have five, some have 10 and there are still
outages. The generation capacity is also increasing. It is a value chain
where the distribution is not matching up the available power and from
time to time, there are slacks. The short term goals are incremental
power and stable supply in some places.” he said
