Power generation has dropped to 2000mw, says Ministry of Power

The Permanent secretary, Ministry of Power, Mr Godknows Igali, has said that the activities of pipeline vandals have forced power generation in the country to drop to 2000mw from 4500mw.
Igali, who made the disclosure at a NAPTIN programme for training on meter installation and maintenance to trainees under NAPSAS in Abuja, said that a lot of the problems the nation was facing with regard to electricity was as a result of pipeline vandalism.
He however expressed optimism that Nigeria will get over the unfortunate development.
Igali said that but for the disruptions occasioned by vandals, the amount of gas available now can give the country more than 6,000mw of electricity, adding that most parts of Nigeria can have power for at least 16 hours with 6,000mw.
