He said the government might engage the governors through their forum to address the problem for timely completion of power projects.
He said the government was taking inventory of all the right-of-way challenges nationwide to engage state governors.
He commended Eko DisCo for being the best in terms of financial performance and urged others to emulate it.
He, however, challenged Eko Disco to heighten customer care and boost confidence.
The minister said currently, there were over 100 ongoing projects by the Transmission Company of Nigeria that would help in addressing power theft and ensure grid stability.
Chairman, Eko DisCo, Dere Otubu, said they visited to congratulate the minister and encourage him to do more for improved power supply in Nigeria.
He solicited the minister’s support for increased power capacity for the company.
