Joseph Tegbe, Minister of Power, says the success of Nigeria’s power sector should no longer be measured primarily by the amount of electricity generated, but by how many communities and people have access to reliable power. The minister said the agency’s mandate goes beyond connecting communities to electricity, describing it as a key institution for expanding economic opportunities and improving livelihoods. “We are moving from just counting kilowatts and megawatts to how many communities and people were powered in the country,” Tegbe said. According to him, the agency serves as a link between government policy and grassroots development by extending electricity access beyond urban centres to underserved communities across the country.
