The minister of power, Adebayo Adelabu, has apologised to Nigerians over the incessant outages witnessed in recent months
Adelabu offered the apology at a news conference on Tuesday in Abuja where he promised that stable power will be restored soon.
“I want to apologise, coming from me as a minister of power, for this temporary issue that is leading to hardship being experienced,” he said.
Adelabu said the apology was necessary given the dry season, which has caused extreme heat and disrupted businesses, schools, and industries.
“It is not our wish to find ourselves in this situation, but it is some factors that are actually beyond our control,” he said.
The minister said the government remains committed to ensuring adequate power supply across the country.
“We are working on it 24-7 to make sure that we go back to the trajectory of 2025, whereby you praised us and commended us for a good job well done,” Adelabu said.
“And we can imagine, if we could provide such service in 2025, this is 2026, when we will be willing to even do more and better, as we are close to the election year.”
