The Federal Government has announced the restoration of electricity supply to several areas affected by recent power disruptions across the country.
The Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, disclosed this on Monday, 9 November 2026, while providing an update on the country’s electricity situation in a statement issued in Abuja.
According to the minister, electricity has returned to many affected communities in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo and Kwara states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Tegbe, however, acknowledged that some locations were still awaiting full restoration, adding that government teams were working to ensure that electricity supply returned to all affected areas.
He said the vandalised Benin-Egbin 330-kilovolt (kV) transmission line had been repaired and restored to operation.
The minister explained that the repair had helped improve electricity transmission to the Lagos Complex, bringing total supply to more than 1,000 megawatts (MW). This, he said, had effectively returned electricity supply to the level recorded before the disruption.
The restoration follows a period of reduced electricity generation and transmission challenges that left households and businesses in several parts of the country experiencing prolonged power outages.
Tegbe said the Federal Government was working with key stakeholders across the electricity sector, including generation companies, the System Operator, the Transmission Company and distribution companies, to sustain the improvement and ensure better electricity availability.
He reaffirmed the government’s commitment to improving power supply across the country, stressing that providing reliable electricity remained a priority.
The announcement is expected to bring relief to residents and businesses affected by the recent disruptions, although electricity consumers in some locations are still awaiting the full restoration of supply.
