Minister of Power, Adedayo Adelabu, announced on Thursday at the 2025 Ministerial Sectoral Update Conference that approximately 150 million Nigerians now have access to adequate electricity. However, he acknowledged that around 80 million citizens still lack reliable power sources.
Adelabu highlighted that this progress is largely attributed to Nigeria’s involvement in the “Mission 300” initiative. This ambitious joint effort, spearheaded by the World Bank and the African Development Bank, aims to provide electricity access to 300 million Africans by the year 2030.
The Minister’s statement underscores the ongoing challenge of electricity distribution in the country, as millions of Nigerians continue to experience power shortages. The government is working towards expanding access and reliability amid growing demands for energy in the nation.
