Power restored to Lagos, Ogun, four others after vandalism – Minister

The Federal Government has successfully restored electricity supply to several areas in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara, and the Federal Capital Territory, following disruptions caused by the vandalism of a critical 330-kilovolt transmission line. Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, announced the restoration on social media, stating that the affected Benin-Egbin transmission line has been repaired and returned to service.

This development has increased electricity supply to the Lagos Complex to over 1,000 megawatts, bringing the system back to pre-disruption levels. The minister emphasized the ongoing efforts to restore full power supply to remaining affected locations and highlighted the importance of addressing vulnerabilities in Nigeria's electricity transmission infrastructure.
