The Minister of State for Power, Goddy Jedy-Agba, says contrary to reports, the national grid has not collapsed this year.
Mr. Jedy-Agba stated this on Thursday, October 20, during his appearance before the House of Representatives Committee on Power, which is investigating the frequent failure of the national grid.
He claimed that the total blackouts experienced by the country this year were caused by disruptions and not collapse, as widely reported.
He also stated that gas supply has been a problem, but they are tackling that already.
“We are discussing with NNPC and Nigerian Gas Corporation. We are coming to an agreement and gas is flowing systematically now to the generating companies, and we are seeing a steady increment in generation.”
