Power Waste Crisis: Nigerians Turn On Their AC, Freezers For Days Even While Not Using Them – Minister
In a startling revelation, Nigeria’s Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, has issued a stern warning about the country’s electricity consumption habits. During a recent press conference, Adelabu lamented the lack of consumption management in Nigeria, contrasting it with the more disciplined approach observed overseas.
Highlighting the disparity, the Minister pointed out that due to the relatively low cost of electricity, some Nigerians leave their air conditioners and freezers running continuously for days, even when not in use. This practice, according to Adelabu, is not only wasteful but also reflects a broader issue of resource mismanagement in the nation.
The Minister’s comments have sparked a conversation about the need for better energy conservation practices and the potential for implementing more effective electricity management strategies in Nigeria.
