The Kebbi State Government has attributed the irregular electricity supply to its residents to a decline in the National Grid from the generation point. This issue, according to Alhaji Kabiru Sani-Giant, the Special Adviser to Gov. Nasir Idris on Power and Political Affairs, is not exclusive to Kebbi state but affects the entire nation.
Speaking to journalists in his office in Birnin Kebbi, Kabiru-Giant assured that the governor had taken necessary steps to ensure uninterrupted power supply during and after Ramadan. He acknowledged a reduction in power supply due to a nationwide energy drop and mentioned the governor’s meeting with the top management of Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company (KAEDCO) to address this issue.
