The Minister of Power, ADEBAYO ADELABU, has apologised to Nigerians for saying that they keep freezers on for days due to low electricity tariff.

The minister had come under fire from many Nigerians in the last one week for his comment which was considered offensive.

ADELABU had told newsmen in Abuja that Nigerians lack the culture of electricity consumption management because of “cheap” power supply.

He, however, expressed regret over his comment, saying it “was never intended to insult the sensibilities of Nigerians in anyway”.
