The National Assembly was thrown into a momentary blackout when power went off while the Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu, was making his speech. The minister was responding to questions from senators at the investigative hearing on “the need to halt the increase in the price of electricity” organised by the Senate Committee on Power on Monday. SaharaReporters had reported that the Senate Committee on Power invited Adelabu and the heads of agencies under the ministry to an investigative hearing on the new electricity tariffs.
