HURIWA demands Minister’s removal amid Nigeria’s recurring power grid collapses

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has expressed outrage and dissatisfaction over the recurring collapse of Nigeria’s national electricity grid under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.

The latest collapse on October 14 and 15, 2024, has left millions of Nigerians in darkness, crippling the already fragile economy.

Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA’s National Coordinator, via a press release on Tuesday, condemned the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, as “grossly incompetent” and unfit for the role. “Nigeria has had the misfortune of some of the worst species of politicians posted to the Ministry of Power in the last two decades,” Onwubiko stated.
