The plan by the Aso Rock Villa to exit the National Electricity Grid this month following the completion of its solar power project is viewed as a betrayal of the masses who have been abandoned to bear the brunt of persistent grid collapses and epileptic power supply, Ejiofor Alike reports
A major campaign promise of President Bola Tinubu was the supply of adequate electricity to Nigerians. In many of his presidential campaign rallies, Tinubu had urged Nigerians not to re-elect him for a second term in office if he failed to provide adequate power supply.
When Tinubu assumed office in May 2023, power supply hovered around 4,000 – 5,000megawatts.
