Security Threats behind Continued Blackout in Northern Nigeria, Says Power Minister, Adelabu

Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, says the Northern Nigerian states have continued to experience blackouts because of a security threat.

Adelabu disclosed this during a press conference on Tuesday.

Giving an update on the persistent blackout in Northern Nigeria, Adelabu explained that the delay in fixing the vandalised Shiroro-Kaduna Line was due to security threats.

“This time was more severe, and the repairs have been delayed because of security threats,” he stated.
