Power minister explains recent nationwide outages

  • Power Minister Joseph Tegbe attributed outages to maintenance at Egbin Power Station, gas-supply limitations and transmission-line sabotage.
  • Grid operators used load shedding to manage reduced electricity generation and restricted transmission routes.
  • Tegbe said affected generating units should return in phases within 48 to 72 hours as officials improve gas supplies and repair damaged infrastructure.
  • The Transmission Company of Nigeria disputed Ikeja Electric’s explanation of some outages, saying low generation—not transmission failure—caused most interruptions.
