The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, yesterday said that the federal government was taking practicable steps to resolve Nigeria’s intractable power supply crisis.
Speaking in Abuja at the 4th edition of the annual workshop organised by the Power Correspondents Association of Nigeria (PCAN), the minister noted that for years, Nigeria has had several dialogues on how to solve the deficit of electricity nationwide, noting that it was time to end the talk.
Adelabu described the theme of this year’s conference: “Nigerian Power Sector: Ending the Talk, Moving to Action,” as not only timely but crucial for the growth and sustainability of the nation’s energy future.
For many years, we have had discussions, deliberations, and strategic dialogues on the challenges facing the power sector. We have heard the calls for reform, the promises of growth, and the visions of a brighter energy future.
Yet, it is clear that words alone will no longer suffice. We have reached a pivotal moment where the time for action has arrived.
