“Mr President Has Allocated Over N340bn In The 2024 Budget Towards Improving Power Infrastructures In The Country, This Will Improve Nigeria’s Electricity Supply”.
Rt Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Chief of Staff (COS), disclosed on Saturday that the Federal Government allocated N340 billion in the 2024 Budget to improve power sector infrastructure.
Additionally, Gbajabiamila stated that the Tinubu administration maintained constant communication with stakeholders in the power sector to address the multifaceted challenges hindering stable electricity supply in the country.
The Chief of Staff made this announcement while speaking at the commissioning of two units of a 20MVA injection substation in Surulere, Lagos. This project, a public–private sector partnership between the Federal Government and Eko Distribution Company, underlines President Tinubu’s commitment to enhancing electricity supply nationwide.
Gbajabiamila, represented by Senator Wasiu Sanni Eshinlokun, emphasized Tinubu’s concerns regarding energy theft, estimated billing, and the theft of power infrastructure. He urged Nigerians to protect power infrastructure in their communities, while also urging Distribution Companies (Discos) to address issues of estimated billing and poor meter distribution.
“Citizens must protect power infrastructure in their various communities as we expect the electricity distribution companies to address cases of estimated billing and poor meter distribution,” Gbajabiamila said.
Furthermore, Gbajabiamila stressed that access to reliable electricity is not a privilege but a fundamental right. He highlighted the importance of collective investment in projects that empower citizens and drive the nation forward.
“As we always say, access to reliable electricity is not a privilege; it is a fundamental right that drives productivity, fosters innovation, and improves the quality of life for all citizens,” he stated.
Regarding the challenges faced by Nigerians, the Chief of Staff mentioned President Tinubu’s efforts to alleviate these difficulties. He described the commissioned project as a beacon of hope for the future.
“The president is committed to rolling out wage awards for workers, financial support for SMEs, loans for students, unemployment benefits, and many other social security programmes to improve living conditions for all Nigerians,” Gbajabiamila added.
Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, affirmed the state government’s commitment to collaborating with stakeholders to ensure stable power supply. He assured residents that within two years, some areas of the city would bid farewell to darkness.
Governor Sanwo-Olu urged residents to pay their bills promptly, refrain from assaulting Disco staff, and avoid bypassing meters, which could jeopardize the profitability of the Disco.
“I speak with you as one involved in the value chain. Change is here, and for that change to have an impact, all of us must behave responsibly,” the governor emphasized.
Mr. Derin Otubu, Chairman of Eko Electricity Distribution Plc., highlighted the significance of the day’s event, stressing the importance of light for happiness, relief, and economic activities in Surulere and its environs.
Otubu commended the contributions of Rt. Hon. Gbajabiamila in addressing the issue of sustainable power distribution. He urged residents to take ownership of the project and protect it from vandalism.
“We would satisfy you, what we get, we would distribute to you,” Otubu assured, emphasizing Eko Disco’s commitment to providing quality service to “lighten up Lagos.”

“Mistakes Happen” – Woman Begs Husband After DNA Test Reveals He Isn’t The Father Of Her 3 Children (Video)
A shocking family drama unfolded when a man discovered that the three children he had raised for six years were not biologically his.
The truth came to light just weeks before Thanksgiving, leaving the man devastated and struggling to process the betrayal.
In a post shared by @amebogist on Instagram, it was reported that he asked the woman and her children to leave while he processed the revelation.
But his family, believing the children shouldn’t be punished for their mother’s actions, invited them to the holiday gathering without consulting him.
When the woman and her children arrived, the man became visibly upset, witnesses say he rushed to the front door, blocking their entry, and told his family he wasn’t ready to see them so soon after learning the truth.
The woman reportedly pleaded with him, saying, “Mistake happens,” asking for forgiveness and understanding.
Despite her pleas, the man stood firm, and she eventually left with the children to avoid making the situation worse.
The incident has sparked heated debate online. Some defended the man, arguing he had every right to protect his emotional well-being. Others said the children shouldn’t suffer for their mother’s betrayal.
