He claimed that Nigeria's power generation has improved with generation capability that now exceeds 7,500MW.
President Muhammadu Buhari has claimed that the country is enjoying better power supply since his administration was inaugurated.
While delivering his Democracy Day speech in Abuja on Tuesday, May 29, 2018, the president claimed that Nigeria's power generation has improved with generation capability that now exceeds 7,500MW.
He said, "In the area of power generation, Nigerians from all parts of the country continue to report better power supply and less use of generators. This underscores the effectiveness of the methodical plan to deliver incremental and uninterrupted power supply to our homes, markets, offices and factories.
"The country achieved 5,222.3 MW representing the highest peak of power generated onto the national grid and delivered to customers in December, 2017.
"With new facilities, repairs and rehabilitations by Government and private investors, generation capability now exceeds 7,500 MW."
He further noted that his administration is committed to making lawful interventions to ensure that the nation's operators of the distribution business live up to expectations especially in the areas of distribution capacity, service delivery, collection efficiency, and metering to eliminate contentious estimated billing.
