Massive Boost! Nigeria’s Electricity Supply Grows By 2,000MW Under Tinubu Administration

The Director General of the Energy Commission of Nigeria, Mustapha Abdullahi, has revealed that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration has added an additional 2,000 megawatts (MW) to the nation’s electricity supply.

Speaking during an interview with Channels Television on Friday, Abdullahi noted that the country’s available electricity has increased from 4,000MW to 6,000MW within two years under Tinubu’s leadership.

He remarked, “Electricity generation in Nigeria began around 1896. In the 127 years since, we had only reached 4,000MW. Now, under President Tinubu, an extra 2,000MW has been added. If this trajectory continues, he could double the total before the end of his term, and potentially triple it if re-elected.”

Abdullahi further stated that for every Nigerian household to have reliable and affordable electricity, the country would need to generate at least 40,000MW.
