The 2023 Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has called on the Federal Government to establish a technical task force comprised of professionals to address the recurring collapses of the national grid.
Speaking via his spokesman, Dr. Yunusa Tanko, Obi emphasized the need for a non-political team to diagnose and correct issues such as frequent fire outbreaks leading to system failures.
Tanko stressed the importance of improved coordination between the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and distribution companies (DisCos) to enhance power availability.
This proposal follows the recent national grid collapse, which plunged the country into darkness for the second time in a month, coinciding with controversial tariff increases by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC).
