BREAKING: National grid finally restored

The collapsed national power grid, which collapsed on Tuesday, has finally been restored.

Minister of Power, Abubakar Aliyu, made this known while briefing State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) on Wednesday.

The FEC was presided over by Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo.

According to Aliyu, “We have recovered the grid now.

“The grid is back and we are trying to get more megawatts to push on the grid. We have set up small committees all geared towards getting more megawatts to put on the grid.

“Basically, the problem is around gas. You need to have gas contract between generating companies and gas suppliers- some are in form contracts, some are not. We are looking into this and have proffered some solutions in a few days to mature.”
