The priority of President Tinubu’s administration in this 2026 is reliable, accessible and sustainable electricity supply.
The Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu gave this assurance in a statement issued on Friday in Abuja by his Special Adviser on Strategic Communications and Media Relations, Mr Bolaji Tunji.
“Looking ahead, our focus remains unshakable: to deliver reliable, accessible and sustainable electricity to power our homes, industries and dreams,” Adelabu said.
He said the path forward would be driven by continuity and renewed vigour, with efforts to enhance grid stability and expand transmission infrastructure.
Adelabu said collaboration with Electricity Distribution Companies would be intensified to improve service delivery and ensure metering initiatives reach every community.
“Our Light Up Nigeria initiative remains a priority, focusing on industrial clusters and agricultural hubs to stimulate economic growth and job creation,” he said.
The minister said renewable energy development would also be prioritised, with solar and hydropower deployed to serve underserved communities.
He described 2025 as a year of focused groundwork and deliberate strides in the power sector, despite prevailing challenges.
According to him, progress was recorded in strengthening the national grid and improving overall stability during the year.
The Power Minister maintained that the Presidential Power Initiative, known as Siemens deal, had helped curb frequent grid collapses experienced in previous years
“As Phase One of the PPI continues, we assure Nigerians of a strengthened grid that will make disturbances a thing of the past,” he said.
The minister thanked Nigerians for their resilience, saying their support remained critical to building a robust energy future.
