The Federal Government on Friday said some measures had been put in place to ensure more stabilised power supply in the country by the beginning of October.

The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, disclosed this to journalists after a meeting presided over by Vice-President Namadi Sambo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Part of the strategies, he said, was the method put in place to ensure availability of gas for generation companies.

He said the step had started yielding results as some parts of the country had started experiencing more stabilised power supply.

He said, “The cheering news from all of these is that if you have noticed throughout the country in the past one week, people have been getting better power supply.

“The gas is now beginning to come back and it is something that gives all of us a lot of joy.

“And we know that it will continue to grow that way even until December because of some of the facilities, maintenance, repair works on the gas equipment and so on.

“The gas producers have come to a place where almost all of these are being taken care of, and then the new gas we are expecting is trickling in right now.”
