Following incessant blackout experienced by Nigerians, the Federal Government has set the deadline of the year’s end to ramp up power generation to a target 6,000 Megawatts from 4,000 MW.

This will add an additional 2,000mw to the power generation capacity of the country.

This development was announced by Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, on Monday during an oversight visit of the Senate Committee on Power to the Federal Ministry of Power and the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) in Abuja.
