Tinubu’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, Explains Nationwide Power Outage, Assures Nigerians Electricity Will Be Restored Within 48 Hours After Gas Pipeline Explosion Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has given an update on the nationwide power outage affecting homes, offices, and industries across the country. Adelabu explained that the drop in electricity supply was caused by a temporary shortfall in power generation following an explosion on the Escravos–Lagos Gas Pipeline and acts of vandalism on critical gas infrastructure. He assured Nigerians that repairs are ongoing and that power generation and supply are expected to be fully restored within 24 to 48 hours, especially as electricity demand rises during the Yuletide season. Power sector stakeholders, including TCN, NISO, GENCOs, and DISCOs, confirmed efforts to meet the restoration timeline, while distribution companies like IBEDC apologised to customers for the inconvenience caused by intermittent supply. #NationwidePowerOutage #AdebayoAdelabu #TinubuGovernment
