10,000 megawatts by 2019 is still achievable – Fashola

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said that the 10,000 megawatts target given by the Buhari administration, needed to supply the country with adequate electricity by the end of 2019 is achievable.

He stated that the public is not bothered about how much energy is gotten on the grid but how accessible energy is.

Speaking as a guest on ChannelsTV breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily, Mr Fashola said that “Sometimes when we sustain energy over 4,000 or 5,000 the feedback I get suggests to me that if we added a little more, we might as well be getting a little closer, but we must continue to work harder.
