The Nigerian power minister issued an apology to citizens for the persistent electricity outages that have plagued the country, pledging that the government is working to improve the supply.

During a recent statement, Mr. Tegbe said that President Bola Tinubu also shared the concerns of Nigerians over the unreliable power grid, underscoring the urgency of the issue.

He added that the government was “doing everything possible to address the challenges” and that steps were underway to strengthen the national electricity infrastructure.

Electricity reliability has long been a critical problem in Nigeria, with frequent blackouts affecting households and businesses across the country.

While no specific timetable was announced, the minister’s remarks signal a renewed focus on resolving the power crisis and restoring confidence in the sector.
