The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has apologised to Nigerians for recent electricity outages, particularly in Lagos, and assured them that the government is working to improve power supply. He explained that the recent disruption was due to planned maintenance at the Egbin Power Plant and vandalism of a transmission line serving Lagos. Tegbe also highlighted the challenges of an ageing electricity infrastructure and the need to address gas supply constraints and debts affecting electricity generation. The Federal Government has set January 2027 as its target to commence the replacement of ageing infrastructure across the national electricity grid.
