Underserved communities to enjoy adequate power soon: Minister
The Minister of Power, Saleh Mamman, has promised that the Ministry of Power will improve electricity supply to Nigerians especially to underserved communities.
Mr Mamman spoke with reporters during the Eld-el-Kabir celebration in Jalingo and said that communities that were underserved would enjoy adequate service soonest.
He also assured those communities who had not been connected to the national grid that alternative sources of power generation would be provided to them.
The minister urged Nigerians to embrace peace, saying only peaceful coexistence would bring development.
Mr Mamman also called on agitators to give peace a chance and contribute to the ‘one Nigeria’s project’.
According to him, we do not have another country of our own and we must join hands together to build the Nigeria of our dreams.
