The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has announced that electricity supply disruptions affecting several states across the country have been largely resolved.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Tegbe disclosed this in a statement on Monday following power outages that disrupted electricity supply in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), among other areas.
He reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to fulfilling its promise of providing Nigerians with a stable and reliable electricity supply.
The minister explained that the vandalised Benin-Egbin 330kV transmission line had been successfully repaired and restored to operation, resulting in a significant improvement in electricity supply to the Lagos Complex.
According to him, the restoration has increased power supply to the Lagos Complex to more than 1,000 megawatts, bringing electricity availability back to levels recorded before the disruption.
Tegbe stated, “This restoration helped to bring the total power supply to the Lagos Complex to over 1,000 megawatts, effectively normalising to the condition before the disruption.
“We are working with the key power sector stakeholders, including the Generation Companies, System Operator, Transmission Company and the Distribution Companies to ensure sustained and improved availability of power.”
He, however, noted that efforts were still underway to restore electricity to other locations yet to experience full recovery.
“Our teams continue to work to restore full supply to the remaining affected locations.
“Our priority continues to be the provision of reliable electricity to Nigerians,” he added.
The development comes amid widespread electricity disruptions across several parts of the country, with power allocation to distribution companies reportedly dropping to approximately 2,926 megawatts on November 5.
Recall that the minister had appealed to Nigerians to remain calm on Friday, assuring that electricity supply would improve within 48 to 72 hours.

You people should watch me and my baby; we will work towards our wedding, my love.”

“Show Us What You Have Done For Southeast” – Cubana Chief Priest Challenges Umahi.
Celebrity barman and socialite, Cubana Chief Priest, has challenged the Minister of Works, David Umahi, to provide evidence of projects he has executed in the South-East region.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Chief Priest made the challenge in a video shared on social media, where he criticised the minister over the state of infrastructure in the region.
The socialite alleged that a bridge had stopped serving its intended purpose following work carried out on it under Umahi’s supervision.
He also accused the minister of promising votes for President Bola Tinubu without demonstrating sufficient development to convince residents of the region to support the President.
Chief Priest questioned what Umahi was relying on to persuade people in the South-East to vote for Tinubu. He also alleged that the minister was positioning his son to succeed Ebonyi State Governor Francis Nwifuru.
“Minister of Works, show us project wey you do for your region; our bridge is no longer bridging since you touched it. Let us go,” he said.
The socialite further criticised the alleged plan to position Umahi’s son for the governorship, arguing that political leadership should not be treated as a family affair.
He also questioned the level of development in Ebonyi State and the wider South-East, accusing the minister of failing to address the region’s challenges.
“Pharaoh, let our people go, honorable Minister of Works; Pharaoh, let the people of the Southeast go,” he added.

APC Membership Ruled Out As Rhodes-Vivour Makes Controversial Remark.
The Lagos State African Democratic Congress (ADC) governorship candidate, Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, has explained why he would find it difficult to defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Rhodes-Vivour made this known during an interview with Nollywood actress and television presenter Biola Adebayo.
The politician said he could not imagine himself joining the ruling party because he disagreed with several policies and actions of the APC-led government.
He argued that becoming a member of the APC would undermine his ability to implement the changes he hopes to bring to Lagos, particularly in the education sector and the management of public funds.
He said: “You are now angry that you don’t say I have to go to a party that has structure. Now join PDP. That has been the journey. That’s why you’ll never hear that Rhodes-Vivour went to APC.
“Everything that I do not like about this government is caused by the APC. If I were to join the APC, everything I intend to achieve for Lagosians, I will not be able to achieve because those monies are being siphoned to other people instead of going to the people of Lagos.
“I need capital. I need capital that will change the calculus and repair the education system. It is not about any big man or any godfather. It is about the people. That’s why I cannot join it.
“It would take a lot for me to join the APC. A lot of people would just not be alive anymore.
“People cannot get better because the thing that allows them to be the people they are, the thing that attracts people to them, is always about the interests of the people.
“Look at this example. I’m not sure if you read this week where they said that N10 billion has been assigned to fight Ebola. You saw that in the news. Later on, we all said Nigeria has no Ebola. Isn’t it great? But have you returned that N10 billion to use for something else? At the same time, you cannot return it, you are going to use it to fight other viruses. What virus?
“Now, Nigeria is not making enough money to pay off its loans, but the President is still writing to send to the Senate and now trying to borrow something billion. They have no plan of paying this money. He does not care how he is going to pay this money.”
