Nigeria ‘ll achieve stable electricity to power growth – Tinubu reassures Nigerians

By SUMAYYAH ADEFAKA

President Bola Tinubu yesterday pledged that his administration would deliver stable electricity capable of powering economic growth, industrialisation and national development.

He acknowledged the current challenges in the power sector but said that ongoing reforms and investments would yield results.

Tinubu spoke during the commissioning of four signature projects, including the 60 megawatt Independent Power Project ( IPP) executed by the Bayelsa State government in Elebele, Ogbia Local Government Area.

He described the power project as a blessing.

“There can be no industrialisation, skill development and empowerment without power; that is a vision. I assure Nigerians that we will have electricity to power our growth,” he said.

Also commissioned by him yesterday were the 27 kilometres dualised New Yenagoa City Road 1, the 630 meter Angiama-Oporoma Bridge and the Sagbama/Ekeremor Road.

At a stakeholders’ meeting, President Tinubu requested a minute’s silence in memory of soldiers who lost their lives in this week’s attack by terrorists on a military base in Borno State.

In his address, President Tinubu paid a glowing tribute to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, describing him as “the most humble and reliable democrat on the continent.”
