Minister of Power Adebayo Adelabu: Nigeria Has the Lowest Electricity Pricing in Africa

Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has declared that Nigeria offers the lowest electricity pricing across the entire African continent. Adelabu made this assertion on Thursday, October 3, during a meeting with the Secretary of the Lottery Trust Fund, Tosin Adeyanju, at his office in Abuja.

In his remarks, Adelabu emphasized that the two major issues Nigeria and the world are currently grappling with are food security and energy security. “All over the world today, we are faced with two basic issues, and these are food and energy securities," he stated.

He further pointed out that electricity prices in Nigeria are still cheaper than those in other African countries. “It is worth noting that the price of electricity is still the cheapest in Nigeria compared to even other African nations," he reiterated, underscoring the affordability of electricity in the country.

Assuring Nigerians of the government's commitment to improving their lives, Adelabu urged citizens to be patient. “If Nigerians are patient, they will realize that the government means well for them," he concluded, encouraging trust in the administration's plans for the country's energy sector.
