The Federal Government has assured Nigerians of improved power supply during and after the yuletide, saying that it is working assiduously to ensure stable electricity supply in the country.


The Minister of State for Power, Mr Goddy Jedy-Agba, gave the assurance during a tour of facilities at the Azura Power Plant in, Edo State, said electricity supply had improved compared to what it used to be in the past.


He cautioned against vandalism of power infrastructure to complement government’s efforts in providing uninterrupted power supply in the country, saying Azura is working to make power available to Nigeria, as power sector is improving gradually.


Although electricity union recently embarked on strike, which led to the power sector shutting down operations, it took less than eighteen hours to get them back to work after negotiation.


Also speaking, the Managing Director, Azura Power West Africa, Edu Okeke, disclosed that adequate power supply was possible in the country following investments in the four hundred and sixty-one Mega Wax, Azura-Edo Independent Power Project.
