Electricity Supply Will Improve By 2024 First Half — Minister

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb Maitama Tuggar, says with the Siemens gas deal between Nigeria and Germany, Nigerians will experience improved electricity supply by the first half of 2024.

Tuggar spoke virtually from Berlin, Germany, on Channels Television’s Politics Today programme on Tuesday.

Former President Muhammadu Buhari had in 2018 promised to expand Nigeria’s electricity capacity which is currently at 4,000 megawatts to 25,000mw by 2025 when he inked a deal with Siemens Energy in Germany under the Presidential Power Initiative but the project has not been actualised.

Tuggar said the gas deal between Nigeria and Germany is a win-win. 

The minister further said electricity supply would improve with the completion of the ongoing AKK project – the Ajaokuta-Abuja-Kaduna-Kano project.
