Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has revealed that he receives threatening calls due to his efforts to reform the power sector.

Despite these challenges, Adelabu proudly announced that his initiatives have added over 1,000MW of electricity to the national grid in less than a year.

He made this disclosure during an appearance on Fresh FM’s ‘Political Circuit’ programme on Saturday.

The minister also exposed the existence of a cartel working against progress in the sector, noting that recent attacks on power transmission substations with dynamites could not be the work of ordinary individuals, suggesting a more sinister force at play.”

He said:

“There will be resistance, people stand in your way, saboteurs and others. Let me say this for the first time. I receive threat calls.

“I am the 49th power minister in the country. The past ministers were probably bullied and intimated in their work. It does not take ordinary people to blow up a power transmission substation with dynamites, and pull down a power line.

“It is an organised crime. It is a cabal and cartel. We are all Nigerians but we are all Nigerians, we will not run away from ourselves.”
