The Minister of Power,  Adebayo Adelabu, has raised serious concerns about ongoing challenges in the country’s electricity distribution sector, emphasising that power loss levels remain above regulatory limits. This is as the minister said that Nigerians will experience uninterrupted electricity supply before President Bola Tinubu tenure ends. Speaking at the inauguration of the Kwaru 1X15 MVA Injection Substation in the Ikotun-Egbe area of Lagos on August 1, 2025, Adelabu underscored that those persistent losses, coupled with inadequate market remittances and frequent customer complaints, continued to hamper the goal of a reliable power supply nationwide. According to the minister, the distribution segment remains the weak link in Nigeria’s power sector despite significant generation and transmission capacity advancements under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration. “Loss levels exceed regulatory limits, market remittances fall short, and customer complaints about service disruptions persist,” Adelabu said, outlining the critical operational gaps that need urgent attention.
