  "summary": "The Federal Government has commissioned six new transmission substations in Kano and Katsina states, adding 640 megawatts (MW) of electricity transmission capacity to the national grid. The projects, which include four substations in Kano and two in Katsina, are part of the government's efforts to strengthen Nigeria's power infrastructure and improve the transmission network's ability to deliver electricity to distribution companies and consumers. The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, said the investments reflect President Bola Tinubu's commitment to improving the country's electricity infrastructure, which would strengthen the foundations for business expansion, employment, and economic growth.",
