For the first time in years, Nigeria’s electricity supply appears to be stabilizing. Many residents have noted that outages have reduced significantly, with some joking that the power companies, NEPA or PHCN as they are often called, seem to have “gone through revitalization.”
While skeptics attribute the improvement to seasonal factors such as rainfall filling the dams, the reality is that public complaints on social media have noticeably declined.
Discussions about grid collapse or power shortages, once common, have largely gone silent, even on platforms like Twitter where criticism is usually relentless.
Observers point to the recent appointment of Joseph Tegbe as Minister of Power.
Barely two months into his tenure, businesses and households are reporting tangible improvements. From dry cleaners delivering on time to refrigerators running consistently, the change is being felt across communities.
After his predecessor left office to pursue a governorship bid, Tegbe’s arrival appears to have restored confidence and dignity to the sector. Nigerians are hopeful that this momentum will not fade, but instead mark the beginning of sustained progress in the nation’s power supply.
