Adebayo Adelabu, the Minister of Power, has extended an invitation to the Managing Director of Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) alongside with executives from Abuja Electricity Distribution Company (AEDC) and Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC), for a discussion regarding inadequate electricity supply within their respective regions.

In spite of the scarcity of gas, power production has been escalated to more than 4000MW in recent days, according to the media assistant.
Tunji stated that the minister had cautioned DisCos nationwide who were not performing and threatened to revoke their license completely.
