“This is mainly due to a decreased gas supply to generation companies.

“This situation has led to a lower level of energy supplied to load centres, affecting the electricity supply to distribution companies.

“This will also enable distribution companies to supply more electricity to Nigerians.

“We acknowledge the unsustainable situation and expect a turnaround immediately.”
