 President Muhammadu Buhari directed the Ministry of Power and other relevant agencies to ensure that Nigerians have affordable access to electricity. 

The President issued the order while speaking at the inauguration of the Maiduguri Emergency Power Project on Thursday. It was built by Nigeria's National Petroleum Company (NNPC) to provide 50 megawatts of electricity to Maiduguri and its surroundings. 

He urged other agencies, such as the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission and the Nigerian Transmission Company, to work with NNPC Ltd. The goal is to provide millions of Nigerians with affordable electricity in the near future.

The president expressed complete faith in the NNPC's abilities. He stated that the new NNPC's unwavering spirit would continue to produce affordable energy for all Nigerians. He claimed this won’t be just for the immediate, but for the years ahead.

Buhari described the power project as another testament to achieving a stable, uninterrupted power supply aimed at improving the economy and lives of Nigerians.

Furthermore, the president said his administration has worked hard to fulfil the promise of tackling the nation’s electricity challenges and has succeeded in laying the foundation for a strong, prosperous country through the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan.

He noted that a key execution priority of the ERGP was to ensure national energy sufficiency for Nigerians.

According to him;

”The Maiduguri Emergency Power Project is part of an incremental 4,000MW of power generating assets that this administration embarked upon to improve national power supply and stimulate economic growth.
