Abuja electricity consumers have commended the federal government for the improved power supply.

The consumers who spoke on Sunday said the power supply had improved. They said the improved electricity had helped to boost their businesses.

The consumers residing in Lugbe, Nyanya, Kubwa, Kuje Gwarimpa, and the surrounding areas stated they were happy.

Bose Komolafe, a fashion designer at Federal Housing Lugbe, said that the power supply in her area had improved.

Ms Komolafe said, “The only problem we have is that the tariff has greatly increased, and I am appealing to the federal government to reduce the tariff.”

Abel Omoregie, a banker resident in Kuje, said his area had been enjoying steady light for more than 15 hours a day for weeks.

Mr Omoregie said the government was doing very well as the power supply had greatly improved.

Amen Odiga, a civil servant who resides at Gwarinpa, said that the electricity situation in the area had improved in the last three months.

Ms Odiga said there had been constant light for over five weeks as she had to put off her freezer before bringing out the things she put in there.

“I now have to put off my freezer during the day so that I can pay the electricity bill as tariff is now high. I am appealing to the Federal Government to give us light, but it should find ways of reducing our tariff as most of us are civil servants,” she said.

Rotimi Bamidele, a civil servant residing at Kubwa, said that the light situation in the area was encouraging.

Mr Bamidele said since the beginning of July, they had light for more than 14 hours a day.

Mr Rotimi described the development as ”wonderful” and commended the federal government for the feat.

Also, in Kubwa, Erica Ekama, a civil servant, commended the government for the stable electricity supply in the area.

“The light is so constant that sometimes, I have to switch off my refrigerator for hours,” she said.

To ensure a constant and stable power supply, the government has taken critical steps to bridge the gaps in energy infrastructure by putting several initiatives in place.

According to the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, the country is witnessing significant improvements in the power sector following government investments in infrastructure.

He said the investments had enhanced power generation and distribution, noting that the goal was to meet the 6,000 megawatts target by the end of 2024.

“We hit 5,155 megawatts of power on August 9, The highest in three years. We met around 4,000 when we resumed. This is just a year. That’s about a 27 per cent increase.

“It’s quite commendable. But the only way is that it must be sustainable. Yes, so to sustain it, consumers must be ready to pay,” he said.

The minister said the government was ready to meet Nigerians’ expectations because other critical economic sectors depended on power supply.
