Power Outages to Resolve Within 48 Hours, Says Tegbe

Joseph Tegbe, the minister of power, stated that affected generating units will resume operations within the next 48 to 72 hours. The minister emphasized that the restoration process will occur in phases, with the initial units expected to be back online within the specified timeframe.

The federal government has attributed the ongoing power outages in four states, including Lagos and the Federal Capital Territory, to planned maintenance at the Egbin power station, gas supply constraints, and sabotage of transmission lines.

Tegbe acknowledged the impact of the current power outages on households and businesses in the affected states, highlighting the challenges faced by residents and commercial entities.
