Power Minister Under Fire Over Nationwide Blackouts

The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, is facing mounting criticism from Nigerians and civil society organizations over the recent spate of power outages across the nation, according to Punch Newspapers. The outlets reports that the outages have been a recurring issue, causing disruptions in various sectors of the economy. Some Nigerians have taken to social media to demand the minister’s resignation, citing his inability to address the issue effectively. The National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) has also joined the chorus, calling on the government to sack Tegbe and appoint a new minister who can effectively manage the power sector. This is not the first time the minister has faced criticism over the power situation in Nigeria. In the past, he has been accused of mismanagement and poor planning. However, the minister has not yet responded to the latest calls for his resignation. As the country heads towards the elections next year, the power issue is likely to remain a key concern for many Nigerians.
