President Bola Tinubu says his administration is paying attention to the electricity challenges across the country amid growing complaints from Nigerians over poor power supply.

Speaking on Friday at the 2026 national convention of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Tinubu acknowledged widespread concerns over electricity outages.

“I assure you, many of you lamenting the problems of electricity and power. We are paying attention to that,” the president said.

He said the grid asset management company, Camco, is expected to inject about 1,500 megawatts into a new grid corridor to strengthen supply.

“We are going to improve on it. Electricity will become better, and be assured there will be opportunity and progress in our industrialisation path,” Tinubu added.

In recent months, Nigerians have continued to decry erratic power supply and frequent outages.

On March 24, Bayo Adelabu, minister of power, apologised to Nigerians over the poor electricity supply and incessant outages witnessed in recent months.

Adelabu said the apology was necessary given the dry season, which has caused extreme heat and disrupted businesses, schools, and industries.

The minister said the government remains committed to ensuring adequate power supply across the country.

He said power generation and distribution are expected to improve in the next few weeks, adding that the country is targeting 6,000 megawatts of electricity before the end of the year.

Adelabu also noted that Nigeria requires over $100 billion in combined public and private sector investment to fix the power sector.

The minister pledged that the government would implement rapid corrective actions in the power sector.
