Nigeria’s power generation on Monday reached a three-year high of 5,313mw on Monday.
This was disclosed in a statement issued by Mr Bolaji Tunji, Special Adviser on Strategic Communication and Media Relations to the Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu.
Adelabu, therefore urged Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) to take more energy in order to prevent a grid collapse.
“When power is produced and not picked by the DisCos, it could lead to grid collapse as frequency drops.
”Efforts will be made to encourage industries to purchase bulk energy,” he said.
Adelabu vowed that power generation in Nigeria would hit 6,000MW before the end of this year, going by the improvements in the sector in 2023.
