Adebayo Adelabu, Minister of Power has promised to restore electricity in the north.

He said the electricity will be restored in the next five days.

Recall that 17 northern states are currently suffering blackout due vandalisation of the Shiroro-Kaduna transmission line.

The minister gave the assurance on Monday while briefing State House correspondents after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

According to him, the vandalized transmission line would be repaired “within three to five days”.

He said that the president had already instructed the National Security Adviser, NSA and security chiefs to provide the required security for the people that will fix the demolished line.

The minister assured that with the provision of full security, the Transmission Company of Nigeria, TCN staff will have the confidence, together with the contractors, to go to the field and fix it.

“So, I’m just appealing to our northern brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, to bear with us that very soon, light will be restored, and we must all collectively protect our national grid to avoid further vandalisation,” said the minister.
