Power supply: Nigeria won’t get it right in three and a half years – Gov Dapo Abiodun

Ogun State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, says Nigerians must be patient as the challenges faced in the power sector cannot be sorted in three and a half years.

Speaking at the 2026 APC National Convention held in Abuja on Friday, March 27, Abiodun admitted that power supply has been inconsistent in recent weeks.

“From the common man’s point of view, we have had problems with power supply in the last couple of weeks, but we will not get it right 100 per cent in three and a half years,” he said.

Despite these setbacks, the governor maintained that the situation is improving gradually. 

“But you know what, I think so far, so well,” he added

Nigerians have been facing poor power supply which has gotten worse in the last two months. This situation has been attributed to limited gas supply to thermal power plants. 

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, recently apologised to Nigerians for the poor supply of electricity and said that the situation will improve within two weeks.
