Power Minister Sets 72-Hour Target for Electricity Improvement
Power Minister Joseph Tegbe says electricity supply could begin improving within 48 to 72 hours as the government works to return affected generating units to service.
The minister linked recent outages to planned maintenance at Egbin Power Station, constraints in gas supply to some thermal plants and damage to transmission infrastructure that has limited alternative routes for electricity delivery. He said the affected units would return in phases while officials work with operators on gas supply and repairs.
Consumers await relief
Households and businesses in parts of Lagos, Ogun and the Federal Capital Territory have faced prolonged interruptions. The timeline is an assurance from the minister; the scale and timing of any improvement will depend on repairs, fuel availability and how much power is restored to the grid.
There has also been disagreement between power-sector operators about the causes of recent supply interruptions. MBTV will update this report when grid data and restoration progress can be assessed against the minister’s stated timeline.
