The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, has confirmed that electricity has been restored to many areas disrupted by recent power outages across Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara State, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Tegbe made the announcement on his Facebook page on Monday, stating that efforts are still ongoing to restore power to the remaining affected areas.
He also revealed that the vandalised Benin-Egbin 330kV power line has been repaired and is now operational, which has helped increase power supply to the Lagos Complex to over 1,000 megawatts. According to Tegbe, the restoration has brought power supply back to levels recorded before the disruption occurred.
The minister explained that the government is working with key stakeholders in the power sector — including generation companies, the system operator, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, and distribution companies — to improve electricity supply nationwide.
"Our teams continue to work to restore full supply to the remaining affected locations," Tegbe said.
He further noted that the government will continue collaborating with all stakeholders to ensure a steady power supply across the country.
"Our priority continues to be the provision of reliable electricity to Nigerians," he stated.
