Gas Projects to Boost Power Supply to Be Completed 2nd Quarter

The federal government has said that gas projects that will improve power supply in the country will be completed in the second quarter of this year.

This is coming as power firms in the country have agreed to explore broader funding sources in order to improve their infrastructure across the country.

The government, in a communiqué issued at the end of the first monthly meeting of operators in the power sector, stated that the country’s gas sector was still facing some challenges in the aspects of payment and security, but expressed optimism that the supply of gas for electricity generation would improve from the second quarter of this year.

The meeting, which was chaired by the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, was held in Abuja on Monday.
