The Federal Government has blamed the erratic power supply in Abuja and some parts of the country on the reduction in hydro capacity owing to the dry season.

The Minister of Power, ABUBAKAR ALIYU, said this during the weekly ministerial briefing.

He added that the government is working to ensure optimum supply of gas to facilitate the speedy restoration of power in the country.

The power minister however emphasized that meter distribution is the responsibility of the electricity distribution companies, and it should not be sold to users.
