Minister of Power,Chief Adebayo Adelabu yesterday said the Federal Government is steadfast in its mission to transform the power sector.

He spoke at the 9th edition of Nigeria Energy Forum (NEF 2024) conference in Lagos.

The minister said over the years, they have increased installed generation capacity by bringing new power plants on line and rehabilitating existing ones.

This has resulted in a substantial increase in the overall power supply to the national grid.
