Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Joseph Olasunkanmi Tegbe, has called on Nigerians to rally behind President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, assuring that the country is on course for meaningful improvements in electricity supply.
Speaking in an interview that circulated on social media, Tegbe said the administration remains committed to addressing the challenges confronting the power sector, adding that recent progress is a reflection of renewed coordination among key agencies.
He appealed for public patience and solidarity, saying: “We are calling on Nigerians to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Also pray for us.
Whatever challenges this country is plagued with, by God’s grace, we will overcome them and we’ll get there.”
On the current state of electricity supply, the minister expressed optimism that improvements are already being felt across the country. “Very soon, Nigeria will be lit up.
We’ll see visible improvement. Nigerians have been giving me feedback that power supply has improved across Nigeria in the last four weeks,” he said.
Tegbe disclosed that his engagement with sector stakeholders has begun to yield results, citing collaboration with agencies including the Transmission Company of Nigeria, the Rural Electrification Agency, and other key players.
“I have engaged various key stakeholders in the sector, TCN, Ministry of Power, REA, NEC, everybody and they have given commitments. And that is what you are seeing today with improvements,” he added.
The minister further assured Nigerians that efforts are ongoing to sustain the gains recorded and ensure consistency in power supply in the months ahead.
