The Federal Government has announced plans to restore electricity to Northern Nigeria within the next 72 hours.

Speaking in Abuja during a session with the Senate Committee on Power on Tuesday, led by Enyinnaya Abaribe (APGA, Abia South), Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu addressed the ongoing power outage affecting the northern region and recurring grid collapses across the country.

Adelabu explained that, as a temporary measure, power would be routed through the Ugwuaji-Makurdi transmission line, covering approximately 80% of the affected states.

He added that efforts are underway, in collaboration with security agencies, to access damaged grid areas that have been occupied by vandals.

Adelabu assured the committee that once full access is obtained, repairs would be made to the damaged lines, ensuring full restoration of power within the next 14 days.
