The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has begged Nigerians to own the power infrastructure in their areas and ensure its protection from vandals.
The Minister’s appeal is contained in his Christmas message to Nigerians where he said that by preventing the acts of vandalism through vigilance, they would be ensuring the protection of the country’s grid from collapse and the gains achieved in the incremental addition of power to the grid.
According to the Minister, the reforms in the power sector have started yielding positive results as evidenced in improved power supply to households and businesses across the country.
“The reforms, particularly in the Power sector, have started yielding positive results and those results will be consolidated upon to make life more meaningful for all Nigerians.
“Beyond the national grid alignment, renewable and alternative sources of electricity supply are being vigorously pursued, especially for our educational and health institutions.
