The Federal Government has indicated that the widespread blackout affecting the country could soon be resolved, as efforts are underway to address gas supply issues disrupting electricity generation.
Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, revealed the development on Thursday in his Eid-el-Fitr message to Nigerians, noting that the government is actively working to tackle the constraints.
He explained that recent steps taken by the administration of Bola Tinubu are beginning to show positive results, with improvements expected in the near future.
According to the minister, “Concrete measures are being implemented to ensure more reliable and sustainable electricity for homes, businesses, and industries.” He added that “The reforms initiated by President Bola Tinubu are beginning to take root, and Nigerians will soon witness the full benefits.”
The assurance comes after a recent nationwide power outage that left many parts of the country in darkness, severely affecting businesses and adding to the economic strain faced by citizens.
The situation is further compounded by rising fuel prices, driven in part by the ongoing tensions linked to the Middle East crisis, which continue to impact global energy markets.
