The Honourable Minister of Power, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, has held a strategic meeting with the Electricity Commission of Nigeria (ECN) to deepen collaboration among key stakeholders in the country’s power sector.
The meeting, which took place at the Ministry of Power on Tuesday, focused on strengthening synergy between the ministry, its relevant agencies, and the ECN as part of ongoing efforts to improve electricity supply and sectoral efficiency.
Speaking during the engagement, Adelabu emphasized the importance of coordinated action among institutions in the power sector, noting that collaboration remains critical to achieving sustainable reforms and long-term stability.
He also outlined key solutions capable of strengthening Nigeria’s economy, particularly the need to reduce reliance on imported power-sector equipment by promoting local production.
According to the minister, developing domestic manufacturing capacity would not only create jobs but also lower costs, improve sustainability, and enhance the resilience of Nigeria’s power infrastructure.
“The development of local capacity is essential for the long-term growth and stability of the power sector,” Adelabu said, stressing that Nigeria must leverage collaboration to drive innovation and self-sufficiency.
The meeting marked another step in the federal government’s efforts to build a more reliable and self-sustaining electricity sector through active engagement with regulators and industry stakeholders.
The ECN delegation was led by its Director-General and Chief Executive Officer, Mustapha Abdullahi.
