Godknows Igali, the Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Power, says electicity supply nationwide had reached 4,600 megawatts.

Igali told State House correspondents after briefing President Muhammadu Buhari on the current state of power situation in the country.

He said that the volume was a great improvement in the sector.

According to him, electricity supply is one of the most discussed topics in Nigeria and naturally so because it is fundamental to the country’s social and economic development.

"Where we stand is that we are doing over 4 600mw of power on the grid and we can do better but then this is a big improvement from about 3 000mw.

"The other time we attained 4 000mw but because of pipeline disruptions we go down to 2 000mw, we go down to 3 000.

"But consistently in the past two months also we have been over 4 500mw, now we are reaching close to 4,700mw.
