Some Nigerians have berated Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola SAN for claiming that some states in the country enjoy almost 24-hour electricity.
The minister had made the assertion on a Channels Television programme, Sunrise Daily, on Wednesday.
Fashola said, “Sitting down here I can tell you some states that have almost 24 hours – Kebbi, Yobe. Some have five, some have 10 and there are still outages.”
However, some Nigerians took to social media to disagree with the minister over his claim that some states enjoy almost 24-hour electricity.

Fashola is actually right. Some estates in Lagos, ABJ enjoys 24/hr power. They use btw 5000 – 10000kva generator & Some uses IPP. He’s indirectly telling us we can generate our own 24/7 power ourselves. Govt ain’t doing shi**. pic.twitter.com/Ihyt4Ozu2N

Fashola, you mess your remain image as you keep lying about your inability to deliver.The truth remains that Nigeria are defrauded by EEDC power supply. No power supply,no metres but outrageous billing. https://t.co/fyv6WyGUpY

It is the quintessential hallmark of this govt…Deception!
It is either Minister Fashola do not remember we live in this Country with him, or he wants to take over Ali baba’s job as a comedian. https://t.co/bZUSyaEXOh

"You can't have stable power supply everywhere. Is it everywhere you go you have telecommunications service? That's why people carry many phones around" – Raji Fashola
Justifying failure with another failure.
