Power sector reform is ‘ongoing work’, APC-PCC counters criticism of Tinubu’s pledge

APC-PCC spokesperson Dele Alake defended Bola Tinubu’s 2023 pledge to end estimated billing and provide stable electricity, saying reform of Nigeria’s power sector remains ongoing. He said critics had omitted the candidate’s qualification that he would owe Nigerians an adequate explanation if he fell short before seeking a second term. The council said the 2023 Electricity Act opened the sector to state participation, a 4 trillion naira bond programme is addressing legacy debts, and more than 1.5 million customers have received meters through a presidential initiative.
