The Minister of Power, Chinedu Nebo said on Monday in Abuja that the drop in power generation was caused by gas shortage due to vandalism of gas pipelines.
"We
still face many challenges, gas supply is a very serious one and the
current difficulty we have in generation dropping substantially in the
past couple of days, was as a result of gas limitation.
"We
also have security issues bordering on vandalism of the sector's gas
pipelines and oil pipelines that are associated with gas and then
transmission and distribution infrastructure."
Mr
Nebo particularly stressed the need to develop the sector's
transmission capacity "and expand the wheeling strength, so that all
power generated can be effectively transmitted."
Mr
Nebo, however, expressed optimism that most of the challenges being
expressed at the moment would soon be addressed with the cooperation and
support of stakeholders in the sector.
