STATEHOUSE PRESS RELEASE PRESIDENT TINUBU APPROVES N3.3 TRILLION PAYMENT PLAN TO RESTORE RELIABLE ELECTRICITY President Bola Tinubu has approved the payment plan to finally settle the outstanding debts under the Presidential Power Sector Financial Reforms Programme. The debt repayment plan followed the final review of the legacy debts that have beset the power sector for more than a decade. The long-standing debts accumulated between February 2015 and March 2025. Following verification, ₦3.3 trillion has been agreed as a full and final settlement, ensuring a fair and transparent resolution. Implementation has begun, with 15 power plants signing settlement agreements totalling ₦2.3 trillion. The Federal Government has already raised ₦501 billion to fund these payments. Out of the amount, N223 billion has been disbursed, with further payments underway. What this means for Nigerians: With payments reaching the power value chain, generation will be more stable. With power plants supported, electricity reliability will improve. And as the sector stabilises, more investment, more jobs, and better service will follow. “This programme is not just about settling legacy debts. It is about restoring confidence across the power sector — ensuring gas suppliers are paid, power plants can keep running, and the system begins to work more reliably," explained Olu Arowolo-Verheijen, Special Adviser on Energy to President Tinubu. “It is part of a broader set of reforms already underway — including better metering and service-based tariffs that link what you pay to the quality of electricity you receive. “The government is also prioritising power supply to businesses, industries, and small enterprises — because reliable electricity is critical to creating jobs, supporting livelihoods, and growing the economy. “The goal is simple: more reliable power for homes, stronger support for businesses, and a system that works better for all Nigerians," she added. President Tinubu has commended all stakeholders who supported efforts to resolve the legacy issues in the power sector. He has also confirmed that the next phase (Series II) will begin this quarter.

BREAKING: Iran’s internet blackout, imposed well over a month ago, is now the longest nationwide shutdown on record, according to internet monitoring group NetBlocks.

Israel just committed a massacre near a hospital south of Beirut

My beautiful village Naqoura, destroyed by Israeli occupation forces.

Commotion in church today as Senate President Akpabio arrives church mid-service and sat behind.

Data centers are popping up faster than the 5G towers did and people still don't know what their true purpose is.

We do this in literally every country. It’s standard U.S./Israel operating procedure. Arming rebels, claiming oppressed people are freeing themselves, and then executing a regime change and stealing resources. Trump is despicable.

What was called an Iranian regime conspiracy theory has now been confirmed by the President of the united States. Not only were the Iranian “protestors” violent, they were armed with “a lot” of guns given to them by the United States.

Easter lunch with mum and family. Happy Easter everyone.
