The Federal Ministry Of Power Has Proposed Allocating N8 Billion In 2025 To Educate Nigerians On The Importance Of Timely Payment Of Electricity Bills.
This Was Revealed By The Minister Of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, During The Ministry’s Budget Defense Before The National Assembly Joint Committee On Power On Monday, January 13.
Adelabu Stated That The Advocacy Campaign Would Utilize Social, Digital, And Print Media To Reach A Wide Audience. He Emphasized The Need To Raise Awareness Among Nigerians About The Power Sector As A Critical National Asset Requiring Collective Protection.
“We Are A People Of Over 200 Million Strength. So We Need To Go Through All The Loopholes, Through Social Media, Through Digital Media, Through The Print Media, To Actually Orientate And Do This Advocacy. So We Have N8 Billion.
In Terms Of Advocacy, We Believe That Our People Need To Be Re-Educated. They Need To Be Re-Orientated To Know That The Power Assets Are National Assets, And We Should All Jointly Own It.
Our People Need To Know That They Should Avoid Power Theft. When They See Something, They Must Say Something. Our People Need To Know That They Must Pay Their Bills Regularly. All These Need To Be Passed Across. We Believe That The Power Sector Needs To Do A Lot Of Advocacy, Re-Orientation And Re-Education Of Our People” Adelabu Said
