Nigerians have been given renewed optimism for enhanced power supply this Christmas season.
This comes after an update regarding the ongoing repairs being conducted by the Nigerian Gas Processing and Transportation Company (NGPTC).
Due to a temporary decline in power generation, much of the country has experienced darkness for several days.
However, in an update on Wednesday evening from the Nigeria National Grid on X, officials assured citizens that electricity would be restored shortly.
“This restoration will allow gas-fired power plants to return to normal operations, resulting in improved electricity supply nationwide,” the update stated in part.
For many years, Nigerians have enjoyed a reliable power supply to celebrate the festive season, although fuel shortages have often been an issue.
Fortunately, a significant shift in market dynamics has led to a decrease in petrol prices, ensuring the availability of fuel this year.
