On Tuesday, senators anticipated the restoration of electricity supply from Abuja Electricity Distribution PLC before the commencement of the Senate session. The delay resulted in a partial blackout in the Red Chamber, with President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, eventually starting the plenary after power was reinstated. Apologizing for the outage and the chamber’s heat, Akpabio mentioned that some offices still faced power issues, and efforts were underway to resolve the situation.<\/p>\n
It’s worth noting that in February, Abuja Electricity Distribution PLC had threatened to disconnect electricity supply to 86 Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs) due to a cumulative debt of N47.1 billion. Among the affected MDAs were the Ministry of Finance, Information, Budget, Works and Housing, Nigeria Police Force, CBN Governor, EFCC, FIRS, FAAN, and state liaison offices in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
