The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has assured Nigerians of stable electricity during the holy month of Ramadan, recognizing the increased energy demands for Suhoor, Iftar, and Taraweeh prayers.
In a statement, Adelabu acknowledged the challenges of the country’s power supply and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring reliable electricity throughout Ramadan and beyond.
“As the Minister of Power, I understand the importance of stable electricity, especially during Ramadan when energy consumption is higher. The Federal Ministry of Power is working tirelessly to ensure a reliable power supply during this period and beyond,” he stated.
Commitment to Power Infrastructure
Adelabu emphasized ongoing efforts to upgrade power infrastructure, address grid instability, and expand electricity access across the nation.
“Our goal is to ensure that every household can observe Ramadan with comfort and dignity. We are committed to strengthening the power sector and tackling existing challenges,” he stressed.
Call for Responsible Electricity Use
The minister also urged Nigerians to conserve energy by adopting simple habits like switching off unused lights, using energy-efficient appliances, and unplugging devices when not in use.
“Small actions can go a long way in reducing energy consumption and easing the burden on the national grid,” he advised.
Ramadan: A Time for Unity and Charity
Beyond power supply, Adelabu described Ramadan as a period of spiritual growth, charity, and national unity. He called on Nigerians to embrace peace, tolerance, and goodwill during fasting.
“Ramadan is not just about fasting; it is a time for spiritual renewal, forgiveness, and self-improvement. I urge all Nigerians to foster unity and harmony, regardless of religious or ethnic differences,” he appealed.
With this promise, Nigerians observing Ramadan can look forward to a more stable electricity supply, making their religious practices and daily activities more comfortable and uninterrupted.
