The Federal Government (FG) has promised Nigerians that the era of unstable electricity will soon be a thing of the past. Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s reforms in the power sector are already showing results and will deliver 24/7 uninterrupted supply before 2027.

Speaking in Abuja on Friday, September 12, Adelabu gave the assurance while inaugurating two blocks housing five training workshops and a 104-room hostel at the National Power Training Institute of Nigeria (NAPTIN).

He noted that the sector recently achieved its highest power generation and transmission output in Nigeria’s history.

“In no time, we are going to witness a country where there is 24/7 uninterrupted power supply. This is possible and we have certainly seen the signs,” the minister declared.

Government pushes for self-reliance

Adelabu explained that the government is already powering universities, hospitals, public institutions and rural communities. According to him, Nigeria has the potential to start producing its own meters, transformers, cables, and batteries, thereby reducing dependence on imports.

He maintained that electricity is the engine that drives education, health, aviation and other key sectors of the economy.

EU, NAPTIN back power reforms

Ahmed Nagode, director-general of NAPTIN, described the new facilities as a solid foundation for building local expertise in the industry. On his part, EU Ambassador Gautier Mignot revealed that the European Union has approved a €100 million renewable energy package for Nigeria.

The initiative is expected to add 400 megawatts of clean energy to the national grid and provide power to more than five million Nigerians by 2027.

Meanwhile, several private firms and institutions have also secured licences to generate electricity independently, a sign of the ongoing transformation in Nigeria’s energy sector.

Popular Dangote Group, in conjunction with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has initiated a training program for truck drivers amid rising road accidents.

This came following the backlashes that trailed the conglomerate’s drivers’ recklessness, which has cost the lives of multiple victims, including BBNaija’s winner, Phyna’s sister.

In the video circulating on social media, a group of Dangote truck drivers gathered for a lecture on safety measures, cautions, and other notable road safety lectures.

The training session, which featured fewer than 50 drivers, has sparked a wave of reactions from many Nigerians, some praising the individuals behind holding the company accountable, while others wonder if this would truly be effective.

Dangote trucks’ incidents in the past few weeks

The most recent incident was from days ago, after one of the company’s trucks rammed into a car on a highway in Bayelsa State, nearly claiming the lives of passengers, including an undergraduate student.

Prior to that, one of the company’s fleet was accused of crushing a family of four alongside others in Enugu, which was denied by the company in a statement, warning other truck companies of using ‘Dangote’ tags on their vehicles.

The most viral of these cases was the death of Ruth Otabor, who lost her leg to an accident involving Dangote’s truck in Auchi, before giving up the ghost days after arrangements were made to fly her to India for better treatment.

The national power grid collapsed on Wednesday, plunging parts of the country into darkness.

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) confirmed the incident in a public notice issued on its X handle, stating that the outage was caused by a loss of supply from the grid at exactly 11:23 a.m.

“Please be informed that the power outage currently being experienced is due to a loss of supply from the national grid at 11:23 am today, affecting electricity supply across our franchise areas,” AEDC said.

The distribution company assured consumers that efforts were ongoing to restore supply in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.

“Rest assured, we are working closely with the relevant stakeholders to ensure power is restored once the grid is stabilised. Thank you for your patience and understanding,” the statement added.

Country Qatar has introduced new visa restrictions barring unmarried Nigerian men from obtaining tourist or transit visas, citing frequent cases of overstaying by travellers.

In a statement released by the country’s Ministry of Interior, Qatari authorities stated that only families or female applicants will now be eligible for tourist or transit visas. Male applicants will be considered only if accompanied by their families.

The updated rules also require applicants to present proof of a confirmed return ticket and hotel accommodation before visas can be processed.

According to the notice, only five-star hotels will qualify for visa approval.

“These updated visa regulations follow recent cases of overstays. A confirmed return transfer must now be booked alongside your hotel before your tourist or transit visa can be processed. Only females or families may apply. Male travellers are no longer eligible unless accompanied by their family. Only five-star hotels are now accepted for visa qualification,” the statement read.

The restrictions apply to both new and pending applications, meaning Nigerians already in the approval process will also be affected.
