President Bola Tinubu has assured Nigerians that ongoing electricity challenges will soon ease, pledging improved power supply in the coming days amid widespread outages across the country.
Speaking at the national convention of the All Progressives Congress in Abuja, the president acknowledged the frustrations of citizens over erratic electricity, attributing the recent situation to reduced power generation.
He, however, expressed optimism that the situation is being actively addressed.
“I assure Nigerians that we are paying attention to the electricity problem. Power supply will improve,” Tinubu said, adding that reforms in the sector are already yielding results.
As part of efforts to stabilise the grid, the president disclosed that the government, through the Grid Asset Management Company, plans to inject about 1,500 megawatts into a new transmission corridor.
According to him, the administration is moving beyond crisis management toward long-term stability, insisting that its policies are delivering measurable outcomes rather than mere promises.
Tinubu also defended key economic reforms introduced since he assumed office in 2023, including the unification of the exchange rate and the removal of fuel subsidies—policies that have drawn criticism over their impact on the cost of living.
Despite the backlash, the president maintained that the reforms are repositioning Nigeria’s economy, citing renewed investor confidence, increased foreign interest in the oil and gas sector, and a heavily oversubscribed Eurobond issuance.
He further noted that Nigeria’s exit from the global financial “grey list” signals a return to credibility in international markets.
While admitting that the reform process has been challenging, Tinubu urged Nigerians to remain patient, assuring them that the country is firmly on the path to economic recovery and industrial growth.
