The substations are dilapidated with very old transformers, some of them were installed in the 60s. We have not been able to replace them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same thing with distribution infrastructure. The substations at the distribution level are also not working properly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Adelabu described the metering gap as significant, noting that out of over 12 million electricity customers nationwide, only about five million have been metered \u2014 leaving a gap of over seven million meters.<\/p>\n<p>He said the ministry\u2019s mandate is to install two million meters annually for the next five years.<\/p>\n<p>The minister said the power sector, which had been considered stagnant for the past 15 years, is now making a strong comeback.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking during an oversight visit by the house of representatives committee on power, Adelabu said the federal government is gradually
