As the country continues to grapple with the enormous challenge of delivering stable electricity to Nigerians, the Minister of Power Prof Chinedu Nebo, said there are difficulties in fixing the problems due to lots of man-made causes and the age-long neglect of the sector.
The minister, who noted that the situation in the power sector is getting out of hand, called for the support of Nigerians in checking vandalism of the facilities being put in place by the government.
Last week, the vandalism of two major gas pipelines which supply gas to eight power generation stations across the country drastically cut power supply by 1,598 megawatts (MW). The affected pipelines take gas from the Okoloma gas plant and Escravos and supply to Egbin/AES thermal stations, Olorunsogo, Omotoso, Geregu NIPP as well as Afam IV and VI thermal power stations and Independent power station in Rivers State.
