Minister of Power blames insecurity for continuous grid collapse

01/14/2025 1

Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has stated that the national electricity grid will remain prone to collapse due to the government’s inability to repair a crucial transmission line in the northern part of the country owing to persistent insecurity.

Adelabu stated this on Monday during the 2025 budget defense session with the Senate Joint Committee on Power.

The minister disclosed that the Shiroro-Kaduna-Mando line, which had been out of service since a vandalism incident in October 2024, had caused immeasurable loss to the nation.

He pointed to this as a major reason for the frequent collapse of the national grid, stressing that the government can only work on quicker restoration when the power grid collapses.
