This was disclosed by the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, after a meeting with President Bola Tinubu on Monday in Abuja.

“We have made progress in this as we have interested contractors and financials that are ready to install 100 megawatts each for each of the 20 northern states which scalable to 50 megawatts at first and then upgraded to 100 megawatts. “We are working on establishing a super grid which is a backup of an optional grid.
