The Federal Government on Thursday, October 31, said it was exploring other sources of power to tackle the incessant breakdown of the national power grid.
The minister of power, Adebayo Adelabu while speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting with the management of the Kano Electricity Distribution Company (KEDCO) said the alternatives would serve as backups to avoid recurring breakdown of the grid.
According to Adelana, the government is committed to boosting electricity distribution to Nigerians.
He also said that there are plans to revive the industrial revolution to boost the nation’s economy.
The minister further stated that he will continue to engage with stakeholders in the power sector to revamp the transmission architecture of the country.
“This proactive approach aims to ensure that the region is prepared for any eventuality, including vandalism or national grid collapse.”
“State Governments should ensure effective implementation of providing alternative electricity sources and Discos should also ensure reliable distribution services while consumers should utilize electricity efficiently.”
