FG Worried About Persistent Power Outages in Abuja, Lagos, Ogun and Other Cities

The federal government has voiced its concern over the persistent power outages affecting Abuja, Lagos, Ogun, and other cities across the country. According to THISDAYLIVE, the government is attributing the poor supply to gas shortages, ongoing maintenance, and a decline in hydropower generation. This situation has left hundreds of containers stranded at the Apapa ports for over a decade, with only 44 of them finally being moved recently. Meanwhile, Google News reports that the Minister of State for Power, Goddy Jedy-Agba, has directed the restoration of power supply disruptions in the affected areas. While the federal government has not yet specified a timeline for resolving the issue, it is clear that the unreliable power supply is causing significant hardship for residents and businesses in these cities. The power outages not only disrupt daily activities but also hinder economic growth and development.
