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.
