I’ll Fulfil My Promise To Deliver Stable Electricity To Nigerians – Tinubu

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has come out to say that despite the nation’s current rate of energy supply, his administration is poised to address all the obstacles militating against stable electricity supply in the country.

He recently had his say during ground-breaking ceremony of the new 350MW Gwagwalada Independent Thermal Power Plant (Phase 1), and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, he can only urge the NNPCL and its partners to deliver the landmark project within the promised three years completion timeline, because any delay in delivery will not be tolerated.

Tinubu added that he made a commitment to Nigerians on providing stable electricity, and he intends to keep it.

His words, “Although the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry is currently characterised by huge supply-gap deficits owing to dilapidated power infrastructure and poor distributions networks, amongst others, this administration is poised to address every power value chain challenge that will significantly relieve the suppressed demand, enhance generation, and improve national peak growth and sustainability far above the hitherto abysmal and unacceptable 5,300MW for over 200 million Nigerians.”

“During my campaign, I made a commitment to Nigerians on providing stable electricity. This is to be achieved by ensuring that we use all available energy sources to boost power generation beyond the current installed capacity of 12,000 megawatts, strengthening the integrity of our transmission infrastructure and ensuring that all distribution bottlenecks are removed.”

“We can not form the productive and industrialised economy we need in order to conclusively tackle poverty, and create thousands of high paying manufacturing jobs for our teeming young people, whose creativity and talent we must harness for national development, without reliable electricity.”
