  "summary": "Minister of Power Joseph Tegbe has announced that electricity supply in Nigeria is expected to improve within 48 to 72 hours as the Federal Government works to resolve generation and transmission constraints. Tegbe cited planned maintenance at Egbin Power Station, which generates about 16% of electricity supplied to the national grid, and gas supply constraints affecting thermal power stations as the primary reasons for the recent power outages. The minister also mentioned sabotage of critical transmission lines as another challenge, which has restricted the use of alternative routes to supply electricity, particularly to Lagos.",
