The Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, on Wednesday said the national grid, which collapsed a few days ago, has now been recovered.
Aliyu disclosed this during a briefing after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided over by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.
According to him, several resolutions have emerged from a series of emergency meetings held by the power ministry, where all stakeholders have extensively discussed the issues and resolved all bickering.
The minister, who likened Nigeria’s power challenge to a war situation, maintained that the country generates up to 8,000 MW.
He further noted that the shortage of gas and maintenance of generators, the fuel situation, which he argued has been addressed by the NNPC, all combined to exacerbate the problem with the national grid.
The power minister also affirmed that the Federal Executive Council has given approval of N5 billion to open up and expand Lagos/Ogun, to reinforce power supply to that region.
