Electricity distribution companies in Nigeria have apologized to consumers following weeks of poor electricity supply across different parts of the country.
The Managing Director of the Association of Nigerian Electricity Distributors, Sunday Oduntan, acknowledged the difficulties households and businesses have experienced due to the prolonged outages.
He also expressed concern about the continued disagreements among electricity distribution companies, power generation companies, transmission operators and gas suppliers over who is responsible for the situation.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, announced that electricity had been restored to several affected areas, including parts of Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara and the Federal Capital Territory.
However, the government says efforts are still ongoing to improve supply in other affected communities.
