Nigeria’s power generation made history, rising to a three-year high of 5,313mw on Monday.

This is contained in a statement issued by Mr Bolaji Tunji, Special Adviser on Strategic Communication and Media Relations to the Minister of Power, Mr Adebayo Adelabu.

Adelabu, therefore urged Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) to take more energy in order to prevent a grid collapse.

”When power is produced and not picked by the DisCos, it could lead to grid collapse as frequency drops.

”Efforts will be made to encourage industries to purchase bulk energy,” he said.

The News Agency of Nigeria(NAN) reports that in May, the federal government pledged to generate 6,000 megawatts of electricity before the end of the year.
