Minister of Power Assures Stable Electricity During Ramadan

The Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has promised stable electricity throughout Ramadan, acknowledging the increased energy demand during the holy month.

“As the Minister of Power, I am acutely aware of the challenges that many Nigerians face, particularly in the area of electricity supply. I understand that the observance of Ramadan often requires increased energy consumption, especially during the pre-dawn (Suhoor) and post-sunset (Iftar) meals, as well as during nightly prayers (Taraweeh).

“I want to assure the Muslim community that the Federal Ministry of Power is working tirelessly to ensure stable and reliable power supply during this holy month and beyond,” he stated.

He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to improving power infrastructure and tackling grid instability.

“We are committed to improving the nation’s power infrastructure, addressing issues of grid instability, and expanding access to electricity for all Nigerians. Our goal is to ensure that every household can observe Ramadan with comfort and dignity,” he stressed.

Adelabu urged responsible electricity use.

“Small actions, such as turning off unnecessary lights, using energy-efficient appliances, and unplugging devices when not in use, can go a long way in reducing energy consumption and easing the burden on the national grid,” he noted.

He also described Ramadan as a time for spiritual growth and charity.

“Beyond the physical act of fasting, Ramadan is a time for spiritual renewal and personal growth. It is an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with Allah (SWT), seek forgiveness for our shortcomings, and strive to become better individuals.”

He called for unity and prayers for the country.

“In the spirit of Ramadan, I also call for unity and harmony among all Nigerians, regardless of religious or ethnic differences. Let us use this holy month to foster peace, tolerance, and goodwill within our communities,” he appealed.
