Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has pledged that the challenges facing the power sector will soon be resolved, citing a mandate from President Bola Tinubu aimed at transforming the narrative in the industry.
During an inspection of the federally-owned Ihovbor plants in Benin City, Edo State, on February 23, the minister expressed the ministry’s commitment to eliminating obstacles hindering the optimal operation of the power plant, ensuring it competes favorably with privately-owned facilities in the sector.
In his words:
“Like I have mentioned in a number of my past interviews, the militating fact is the shortage in gas supply which we are working on & the good news I would like to mention here is that, succour is close to us”.
‘Relief is close to these power plants as we have met with the Mr president & he has mandated us to go & work out how we are going to defray the outstanding debts being owed” he said.
