The Federal Government has warned Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) of strict consequences for poor power supply, including the possibility of license revocation. Minister Adebayo Adelabu expressed concern over the recent decline in electricity supply and has summoned the Abuja and Ibadan DisCos, along with the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), for an emergency meeting to address the issue.
Despite efforts to improve power generation, DisCos are failing to distribute electricity effectively, leading to shortages in various regions. Minister Adelabu emphasized the need for DisCos to prioritize repairing damaged infrastructure to improve supply in affected areas. He also mentioned plans to settle outstanding debts to power generation and gas supply companies to enhance generation levels nationwide.
Adelabu urged electricity consumers to remain patient as efforts are made to tackle challenges and provide better service. He reiterated that DisCos will be held accountable, warning that willful non-performance will not be tolerated. The minister's spokesperson confirmed the scheduled meeting with the TCN and DisCos, highlighting the government's commitment to improving the electricity supply situation across the country.
