President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has assured Nigerians that the ongoing power outages across the country will soon ease, with improvements expected in the coming days.
The President gave the assurance on Friday while speaking at the National Convention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, amid growing concerns over declining electricity generation.
“I assure you, many of you lamenting the problem of electricity and power; we are paying attention to that,” Tinubu said. “Electricity will become better, and we assure you there will be opportunities and progress in our industrialisation.”
He revealed that the government plans to inject about 1,500 megawatts into the national grid through the Grid Asset Management Company to boost power supply.
“The impact of our programmes is visible, tangible, impactful, and measurable—not mere rhetoric as some opposition elements like to suggest. We are moving from survival mode to stability,” he added.
Nigeria has faced recurring power disruptions in recent weeks, largely due to reduced generation capacity.
Tinubu, who assumed office in 2023, noted that his administration has implemented key economic reforms, including exchange rate unification and the removal of fuel subsidies—measures that have drawn criticism from opposition figures over their impact on citizens.
While acknowledging the challenges, the President maintained that the reforms are necessary and that the country is on the path to recovery.
“The road to reform would be tough,” he said, adding that investor confidence has improved significantly.
“Our oil and gas sector has once more become attractive to foreign investment following our reforms. Our Eurobond issuance was oversubscribed by 400%, and Nigeria has exited the financial ‘grey list’, marking a return to global financial credibility,” Tinubu stated.
