Abubakar Aliyu, minister of power held a power sector emergency meeting with stakeholders on low power generation.
The issue has resulted in epileptic power supply across the nation recently.
Between January and March, Nigerians have been feeling the heat of fuel scarcity combined with the inadequate supply of electricity.
According to TheCable, the national grid collapsed, causing blackouts across the country.
The minister had summoned the stakeholders to an emergency meeting to discuss the way forward.
Attendance in the meeting includes delegation from power generation companies, Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN), Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trading (NBET), Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC), Shell, and other stakeholders in the power value chain.
Mr Aliyu told stakeholders that they must work together to make electricity stable.
“This meeting was summoned to address the current electricity situation in the country which we are not happy about,” the minister said.
“We must find a solution so that Nigerians will have electricity. I want us to have the patience to talk to each other, not blaming each other.”
He maintained that the federal government would not relent in its effort to ensure improvements in the power sector.
