Federal Government Acquires 10 Mobile Power Substations To Stabilise Power Supply

The federal government said it has bought over a total of 10 mobile power stations in its bid to resolve challenges around power supply in the country.

Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, revealed this on Wednesday when he met with the Forum of Commissioners of Energy in Nigeria, in a bid to strengthen collaboration between the federal and state governments towards achieving regular power supply.

Special Adviser, Strategic Communications and Media Relations, Ministry of Power, Bolaji Tunji, in a statement on Thursday, said while addressing the forum which had 23 states in attendance, Adelabu begged for patience, saying power failure will soon be a thing of the past.

“We are poised to address the root cause of the electricity challenge. We have done enough diagnostics, we know the cause of the problem, and we are now in the implementation stage. We have realised that in the past, temporary solutions were applied to the challenges without dealing with the root cause,” he said.

Adelabu enjoined the federal and state governments to seize the opportunity to work together.

“You can always call on me to intervene, I will stand by you and I know once the states start to perform and take up further responsibilities, it means I have also performed.

“When each of the states starts getting involved, there would be healthy rivalry akin to what we used to have in the days of regional government,” he stated.
