The Federal government has restated its commitment to an interrupted power supply nationwide as it submitted that the present challenges being encountered in the power sector would be surmounted soon.
The Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu stated this in an interview with the newsmen shortly after observing his Eid prayer at W.O. Lawal praying ground, New Adeoyo State Hospital, Ibadan on Wednesday.
Adelabu who described the challenges in the power sector as accumulated ones pleaded for patience with President Bola Tinubu-led administration.
He submitted that the Country is passing through phases of transformation and reforms virtually in all the sectors of the economy.
The Minister stated that with all the measures that the present administration is putting in place, there will be light at the end of the tunnel in no distant time.
According to him, Nigeria is passing through phases of transformation and reforms. We should be patient with the present political administration.
“I want to plead with Nigerians to exercise some patience, to exercise a lot of trust and confidence in this government, that the phase Nigerian is passing through today is a phase of transformation and reform and we believe that with reform, with transformation there come some little pains.
“So they should please be patient with this government, let us endure the pain which I believe will be temporal and very soon we will start enjoying the gain of all these transformations. It is not easy to rebuild, the damage didn’t happen in a day, so the rebuilding is a process.
“Let us see our transformation as a journey and not a destination. I am very confident and sure that gradually, we will be getting close to where we all desire and the lives of all Nigerians will be changed for the better.
“Government is embarking on a lot of infrastructural projects that will bring succour to Nigerians and remove all the pains that they have been experiencing all these while.”
He said the government is doing all within its powers to address the root cause of problems facing the country, especially in the power sector.
He added “Included in this infrastructure is power which I oversee the ministry. I am assuring Nigerians that we are committed to making things happen in the power sector.
“The problem is over 50 years, so we are doing everything possible to refix everything that has been damaged in the sector, including all the infrastructural deficits that we have across the segment in the power sector value chain.
“We are going to resolve the issue in generation, transmission and distribution. This will take time but we believe that very soon we are going to get to the Eldorado.
“Also, Nigerians should start seeing the good life once again. We have seen the exchange rate go up to as high as N1,900/N2,000 per dollar, but today dollar is less than N1,200. So this is the kind of relief that is awaiting all Nigerians and we will all live to enjoy all the benefits of this transformation process.
“We should trust and have confidence in the administration of President Bola Tinubu and his cabinet, you voted us in, based on trust and confidence. Let us maintain the trust, let us maintain the confidence and all our expectations will be met.
“So I want to congratulate every Nigerian today, we should be rejoicing ahead of the gains that are coming from all these transformation activities.”
