The Federal Government has successfully restored electricity supply to multiple states, including Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara, and the Federal Capital Territory, following disruptions caused partly by the vandalism of a critical transmission line. The Benin-Egbin 330-kilovolt transmission line was repaired and returned to service, increasing electricity supply to the Lagos Complex to over 1,000 megawatts.
The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, revealed this update on social media, stating that efforts were ongoing to restore power to other affected locations. The minister emphasized that the government was working with various entities to prevent further deterioration in supply and that the restoration efforts aimed to bring electricity back to pre-disruption levels.
Despite this progress, Nigerians continue to express concerns over the volatility of Nigeria's electricity transmission infrastructure and recurring power interruptions.
