Reporting by Vanguard indicates Power Minister Adebayo Adelabu says the federal priority for 2026 is to deliver electricity that is reliable, accessible and sustainable, tying the goal to ongoing reforms.
The pledge lands amid recurring grid fragility driven by generation constraints, transmission bottlenecks and sector liquidity disputes that keep supply volatile for households and manufacturers.
Officials say achieving stability requires sustained investment and tighter coordination across gas supply, generation, transmission and distribution.
Echotitbits take: Promises won’t move the needle without measurable milestones. Watch grid stability metrics, DisCo supply-hour transparency, and whether sector cashflow improves enough to fund maintenance and new capacity.
