Federal Government Approves New Measures to Strengthen National Power Supply

The Federal Government of Nigeria has approved a set of new measures aimed at improving electricity generation, transmission, and distribution across the country. According to government officials, the measures include upgrades to power infrastructure, increased investment in renewable energy, and reforms targeted at improving efficiency within the power sector. The initiatives are expected to reduce outages, enhance grid stability, and support industrial and commercial activities nationwide. Authorities noted that reliable power supply remains critical to economic growth, job creation, and improved living standards. As part of the plan, the government is also working with private sector partners to expand off-grid and independent power solutions, particularly in underserved communities. Energy sector analysts have welcomed the move, describing it as a step toward addressing long-standing challenges in Nigeria's electricity sector. However, they emphasized the need for sustained implementation and regulatory clarity to ensure long-term impact. The Federal Government reassured Nigerians that improving power supply remains a top priority, pledging continued engagement with stakeholders to deliver lasting solutions.
