The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, says there is a need to have power grids in different regions or states to put an end to incessant grid collapses.
The minister stated this on Wednesday when he unveiled Hexing Livoltek, an electricity meter manufacturing company in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
Adelabu also said grid collapses are almost inevitable in Nigeria given the deplorable state of the country’s power infrastructure.
According to him, having multiple power grids in each region and state would ensure stability.
He noted that the decentralisation of the power sector would help the plan to build grids in each region, saying this was made possible by the Electricity Act signed by President Bola Tinubu in 2023.
