Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu said, going forward, Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) would face punishment for poor power supply.
Poor supply in recent time has worsened with increasing general outages.
The Minister in a statement he released on Wednesday stated that tough sanctions including licence revocation, await DisCos found to have been responsible for the ugly situation henceforth.
“Moving forward, I’m committed to holding all distribution companies accountable for their performance.
“Wilful non-performance will not be tolerated, and severe consequences, including licence revocation, may be imposed,” Adelabu wrote.
Recall that on Tuesday, stemming from the incessant erratic supply in recent time, he
summoned the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC), the Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) and the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to an emergency meeting.
