Nigerians were, yesterday, plunged into darkness once again as the nation’s electricity grid collapsed. Kaduna Electric confirmed that the loss of bulk power supply left Kaduna, Sokoto, Zamfara and Kebbi states in darkness. Speaking with The Guardian in Ibadan, in separate interviews, the two experts called on government to decentralise power supply to address the perennial problem. On a post on his X handle, Odu Obodumu noted that amid privasation of the sector, power supply has not significantly improved. Elatuyi mentioned that power generation companies are owed about N1.3 trillion, adding that these companies, in turn, have outstanding debts to their gas suppliers.
