?‘Nigerians now enjoy better electricity than in the past’ – Minister of Power, Fashola

Former Governor of Lagos State now Minister of Power, Housing and Works, Babatunde Fashola, at the April 2018 edition of the monthly power sector operators meeting in Umuahia, Abia State, said right thinking Nigerians have revealed to him that they now spend less amount of money to power their alternative source of electricity and enjoy a good quantity from the National grid.

According to Fashola, Nigerians now spend less money to procure alternative power as they get more volumes of electricity supplied to their homes and offices. He further stated that at the moment, most commercial and residential consumers of electricity have packed up their alternative power supply sources for grid electricity, which he claimed has improved tremendously.

“We are on a journey to a destination of promise and eventual prosperity and I use this occasion to salute the efforts and contributions of all those who have brought us this far.Even if those who were most vocal in condemnation when the situation appeared very dire are now uttering some muted acknowledgment that it has improved, we must continue to draw inspiration from well-meaning and right thinking Nigerians who were gracious enough to publicly acknowledge that: they are saving some money from diesel they used to spend for generators; they are running their generators for fewer hours; and they are getting comparably more power than before,” Fashola said.

“It is because of those gracious and well-meaning and right thinking Nigerians that we must dig deeper, work harder and be more determined to improve service delivery,” he added.
