The new Minister of Power, Olasunkanmi Tegbe, on Wednesday, assured Nigerians that the era of repeated national grid collapses, erratic electricity supply, and persistent vandalism of power infrastructure would soon be brought under control, pledging urgent reforms to stabilise the country’s troubled power sector.
Tegbe gave the assurance during his screening during the Senate plenary in Abuja, where he was later confirmed as Minister of Power following questioning from lawmakers over the state of the electricity sector.
The confirmation followed a rigorous screening session presided over by Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, during which lawmakers pressed the nominee for firm timelines, transparency and a clear reform roadmap to stabilise electricity supply and restore investor confidence.
