Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, explained that President Bola has solved the major setback affecting Nigeria\u2019s power sector, which is the legacy debts owed to gas and generation companies.<\/p>\n

Adelabu disclosed this at a sectoral briefing in Abuja on Friday.<\/p>\n

According to him, the government under Tinubu has given the nod to end the country\u2019s power sector challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the major setbacks is the debt owed to gas and power generating companies. Today, we have secured President Tinubu\u2019s approval to pay the debts. So we have resolved this problem. All we are doing now is following up on the presidential approval. This will go a long way towards stabilising the power sector,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The development comes as Nigeria owes gas and generation companies a legacy debt of over N3 trillion.<\/p>\n

In several forums, the government blamed the debt for the country\u2019s epileptic power supply nationwide.<\/p>\n
