The Federal Government has announced the restoration of electricity to several areas affected by recent power disruptions in Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Kwara and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Minister of Power, Joseph Tegbe, disclosed this in an update on Monday, November 9, 2026, saying power supply had been restored to many of the affected locations, while efforts were ongoing to reconnect the remaining areas.
The restoration followed the repair of the vandalised Benin-Egbin 330kV transmission line, which had disrupted electricity transmission to affected areas.

The minister added that the Federal Government was collaborating with generation companies, the System Operator, the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and electricity distribution companies to ensure sustained and improved electricity supply.
He reiterated that providing reliable electricity to Nigerians remained the government’s priority.
