The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has assured Nigerians of stable and sustainable power supply in all parts of the country.
He stated this in Calabar, the capital of Cross River State, on Tuesday when he paid an inspection visit to the Calabar power plant of Niger Delta Power Holding Company.
Adelabu said that the Federal Government is consolidating on reforming the power sector aimed at ensuring stability of power across the nation.
He said, “There has been an increase in energy demands and the government is working relentlessly with commitment to meet the demands.”
He charged associates in the oil and gas sector to get ready to equally be proactive as the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would address issues in the sector effectively.
He enthused, “The power sector is very critical to both the government and national economy. This is why the President has asked me to visit all the power plants in the country and assess their functionality.
“From my assessment, The Calabar Power Plant of the NDPHC is the most active. I’m very satisfied. We are encouraging power installation and generation.
“It is not going to be business as usual. Players in the power sector must be up and about as the Federal Government is reforming the sector for optimal power generation and distributions in order to meet the huge demands of Nigerians.”
