Electricity generation has improved in the last two weeks, from March 28 to April 10, 2026, underscoring the federal government’s commitment to delivering on its promises to Nigerians, the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, said yesterday.
Despite unreliable electricity supply in many parts of the country, Special Adviser to Adelabu on Strategic Communications and Media Relations, Bolaji Tunji, in a statement in Abuja yesterday, said the gradual rise in generation output within the period was in tandem with the assurance given by the minister to improve supply within two weeks.
Quoting data from the period under review, Adelabu stated that it showed that actual power generation increased from about 3,951MW on March 28 to over 4,300MW by April 10, reflecting a consistent upward trend.
He explained that this improvement closely aligned with the steady increase in gas supply to thermal power plants, which rose from approximately 605 million standard cubic feet (mmscfd) to over 704 mmscfd within the same timeframe.
