THE Kebbi State Government has attributed the irregular electricity supply to its residents to fall in the National Grid from the generation point.
He said the problem “is not peculiar to Kebbi state alone. It affects the entire nation.”
Alhaji Kabiru Sani-Giant, Special Adviser to Gov. Nasir Idris on Power and Political Affairs, stated this while briefing newsmen in his office in Birnin Kebbi on Wednesday.
He said that the governor had taken all necessary measures to ensure uninterrupted power supply during and after Ramadan, adding that the state has experienced reduction in power supply due to energy drop nation wide.
Kabiru-Giant recalled that the governor had a meeting with the top management of Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDCO) on ways to ensure regular powder supply in the state, during which he provided financial support to the company to ensure steady power supply during Ramadan.
“Under the arrangement, the six feeders serving the state capital have been allocated specific hours to distribute energy to consumers.
“Gov. Idris has placed premium on energy which is the foundation for economic growth; that is why he has also procured 40 new transformers which will soon be commissioned and installed to boost electricity supply in the state,” he said.
The governor’s aide called on consumers of electricity to be prompt in settling their monthly bills to enable KAEDCO purchase the electricity from Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN).
