The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has reiterated President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to delivering stable and uninterrupted electricity to Nigerians before the end of his tenure. Adelabu noted that the President remains focused on implementing strategic measures to boost power generation, transmission, and distribution nationwide. This reassurance was conveyed in a statement released on Sunday by the minister’s spokesperson, Bolaji Tunji. It followed the commissioning of the Kwaru 1X15 MVA 33/11KV Injection Substation in the Ikotun-Egbe area of Lagos on Saturday. Speaking at the event, Adelabu emphasized Tinubu’s resolve to realize this objective within the lifespan of his administration—despite ongoing public outcry over persistent power outages. “The present administration in Nigeria, led by His Excellency, Mr Bola Tinubu, with the Renewed Hope Agenda, recognises that energy is not merely a commodity; it is the backbone of economic growth and job creation,” the minister stated. He further explained that “to ensure the growth and sustainability of the sector, the Federal Government of Nigeria continues to implement a multi-pronged approach, which has yielded some remarkable achievements.” Beyond improving electricity supply to communities such as Abaranje, Isijola, Igando Road, Omoboriowo, Okerube, and surrounding areas, Adelabu emphasised that the project would have far-reaching benefits for Lagos State’s economy. “This initiative will reduce operational challenges caused by power shortages, provide direct support to small and medium-sized enterprises, stimulate economic growth, and create new job opportunities,” he said.
