Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State, has called on President Bola Tinubu to launch an investigation into the frequent collapses of Nigeria’s national power grid.
In a statement issued to the press in Osogbo on Sunday, Oyintiloye, who is also a former lawmaker in Osun, expressed concern over the repeated grid failures, labeling them as an embarrassment.
He emphasized that consistent electricity supply is crucial for the smooth operation of businesses and the overall economic development of the country, pointing out that these power disruptions are negatively affecting industries across Nigeria.
Oyintiloye suggested that a presidential investigation could uncover the root causes behind the recurring grid collapses and lead to lasting solutions.
“Nigeria has abundant resources that should ensure a stable power grid. It’s concerning that these collapses continue despite our potential,” he stated.
He called for urgent action to end the ongoing power crises, urging that reforms be implemented in the power sector to restore stability for the benefit of the national economy.
He further stated that if sabotage is contributing to the grid failures, a thorough investigation would reveal it.
