Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has issued an urgent directive for the immediate execution of recommendations aimed at stabilizing the National Grid and addressing the ongoing power issues across the country. The directive follows the submission of a comprehensive report by an inter-agency committee tasked with finding solutions to Nigeria’s persistent grid failures.
Bolaji Tunji, Special Adviser on Strategic Communications and Media, announced that Adelabu has instructed the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and other relevant agencies to swiftly begin implementing these recommendations. Adelabu emphasized the importance of the directive, stating that it is crucial to end the embarrassing national grid collapses both in the immediate and long term.
Tunji highlighted that the committee’s proposals are designed to provide lasting stability for Nigeria’s power grid, bringing an end to frequent failures that have disrupted services nationwide.
In related news, the federal government refuted rumors of a fresh grid collapse on Friday. Responding to reports of power outages in some areas, grid operators assured the public that there had been no new incident and labeled the circulating information as misinformation.
“Please disregard rumors of another grid collapse. It’s false information!” read the statement from the grid managers.
