The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has said that the Bola Tinubu government is already working on fixing the foundational structural problems that have hindered the power sector for years. He recently shared that the ongoing improvement in power supply across the country is just the tip of the iceberg compared to what is to come.
Speaking with journalists shortly after observing the Eid-el-Kabir prayers at the Agodi Prayer Ground, Ibadan, Adelabu disclosed that in the coming years, the power sector will deliver far more improved service, which will guarantee better power supply for Nigerian homes, businesses, institutions, and industries.
“Let me say that the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement. Rome was not built in a day. And for you to build a solid building, there must be a very solid and reliable foundation. The power sector had some serious foundational structural issues, which we have been able to correct with this administration.
The little improvement that you have seen is just the tip of the iceberg. You still witness major improvement in power supply,” he said.

The Minister maintained that President Tinubu has pledged to light up the entire country, and he still reaffirmed it on Thursday at the ceremony held in Port Harcourt, where a power plant was inaugurated.
Adelabu concluded by promising major improvements that will develop our industries and bring happiness back to Nigerian homes.
“President Tinubu assured that his major objective is to make sure that he electrifies every Nigerian home, household, businesses, institutions, and industries. And I can tell you that we are not relenting. What you have seen is just one and a half years.
I resumed this job in September 2023. This is just the end of May, and you have seen a little. I promise you that within the next one year, you are going to see major improvement that will develop our industries, that will resuscitate our small and cottage businesses, that will bring happiness back to homes where everywhere is lit up and there will not be darkness,” he added.
