Nigerians have cried out over epileptic power supply at the weekend as power generation in the country dropped to 2,628 mega watts.
Over the weekend, Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, announced the drop in the electricity generation to 2628 mega watts from over 3500mw as a result of leakage in pipelines that supply gas to three major power plants in the eastern part of the country.
The affected power stations which include Afam IV, Afam VI, and Rivers Independent Power Plant (IPP), all shut down over the weekend due to gas constraints arising from condensate issue on Trans National Pipeline (TNP).
A total generation loss from the stations was put at 624MW, while 89MW was lost following the breakdown of the Olorunsogo power station, arising from low gas pressure.
A L01agos resident, Mr. Okey Onyeka of Civil Rights Concern who spoke to our correspondent, said power drop in Nigeria poses a challenge to Nigerians and is hindering the electricity sector reforms.
